Colorado 3 was much different back then. A lot of what is now in the 3rd was in the 4th district back then, represented by Wayne Aspinall. In fact the 4th at one point took in the entire western slope. The 3rd took in SE Colorado, the 2nd NE and the 1st Denver.
In 1964, due to OMOV, the 4th expanded eastward to take in some area from the overpopulated 2nd district. The 3rd was left largely intact. In 1971, when the state went up to five seats, the third and fourth were slightly inverted to become north south districts. The GOP areas from the 3rd were put in the new 5th district.
In 1981, the 3rd and fourth took its present forms and were rotated again with the 3rd being the western slope and the 4th being the eastern slope.
