Historic Race-related Covenant Areas
This feature shows historic plats/neighborhoods that included race-based covenants that stated who could or could not live on that specific plats. In the case of Jefferson County, this took the form of excluding based on race or expressly only permitting those of 'Caucasian' race to own, use, or occupy buildings or property. These race-based covenants were written in the 1910's through 1950 when they were made illegal by the Supreme Court.
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This dataset was created using historic plats in the relevant time frame provided by the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder's Office. The language of these plats was reviewed for race-based language permitting or excluding their use by Chistopher Thiry, Map and GIS Librarian, at the Colorado School of Mines and then digitized based on their boundaries. Additional information about this dataset, how it was created, and details about the race-based land covenants can be found here: https://libguides.mines.edu/jeffco/jeffco</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Contact Christopher Thiry at cthiry@mines.edu</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The dataset was created in the summer of 2020 and provided to Jefferson County Public Health for use in various analysis at this time. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Projection: State Plane, Colorado Central FIPS0502, NAD83 (US feet)</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
