Over 1/3 of this 545 square miles is <br />comprised of National Forests and mountain parks. <br />Of the County's 235,000 population, as of April, <br />1970, approximately 14,500 people or 6% live <br />in this mountainous area.

These communities vary in <br />size from 65 people in Bergen Park to over <br />2,400 people in the Evergreen community. <br />The land use map portrays the man -made de- <br />velopment and was compiled by field studies <br />and aerial photo interpretation. <br />The information used to compile the present land <br />use map serves as one of the key factors for <br />projections and studies that result in the future <br />land use map. <br />The land use classifications as reflected in the <br />legend are generally based on the Denver <br />Regional Council of Governments standard class- <br />ification categories. <br />MOUNTAIN POPULATION <br />ROUGH ESTIMATES 1971 <br />APR. 1960 - 7,500 APR. 1966 - 10,100 <br />n 1961 - 7,800 <br />1967 - 10,800 <br />" 1962 - 8,100 <br />1968 - 11,000 <br />1963 - 8,500 <br />" 1969 - 12,400 <br />" 1964 - 9,000 <br />" 1970 - 13,400 <br />" 1965 - 9,500 <br />" 1971 - 14,500 <br />COMMUNITIES <br />EXISTING LAND USE <br />MOUNTAIN AREA <br />JEFFERSON COUNTY, <br />COLORADO <br />1970 <br />prepared by <br />JEFFERSON COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT <br />approved by <br />JEFFERSON COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION <br />JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />OCT.
