Historic Map - Denver, CO - 1907
Description
View of Denver, Denver County, C.O., 1907 / drawn & published by A. E. Mitchell.
This bird’s-eye view print showing “lots for sale” in the new Denver suburbs of Harlem and Jackson’s Broadway Heights, was engraved by A. E. Mitchell and published by Colorado Land Headquarters in 1907. Denver was established at the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River during the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush era of the late 1850's.
When the Colorado Territory was formed in 1861, Denver was named the county seat of Arapahoe County. Later, when Colorado became a state, Denver was made capital.
The city, located in the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains, installed its valuable Union Stockyards in 1886 and that same year the state capital building was completed.
Arapahoe County was broken up in the early 1900's, leaving Denver as county seat of its own county.
The map includes labeled streets, buildings and railroad routes. The caption states “an improved lot in Harlem or a lot in Jackson’s Broadway Heights for $5 a month”. There is an informational inset of Denver and its suburbs 1907.
