Many thanks for the tip, Dave!
Monte Vista could have been it, since half a century has elapsed. What I remember is the exquisite, beautiful cool, shady double row of trees on either side of the highway, but without homes. Cultivated fields on either side beyond the trees.
As you say, it was an impressive sight after driving through the treeless plain in summer.
I did find a tree lined image in google images, without homes at one time but can't get back to that image to research it further.
I also did a mapquest look at Monte Vista, but couldn't quite find the shady tree lined portion of the highway there. Good clear image, though, probably from an aircraft as opposed to satellite.
Interesting how memories sometimes gently prod you for years, until you just have to see if you can verify them, eh?
Cheers,
Eleanor White
