About this map

Lakeside Amusement Park sits on the western edge of Berkeley Lake, a prominent recreational landmark in this densely developed corridor between Westminster and Arvada. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management, where the Croke Canal, Allen Ditch, and Juchem Ditch weave through residential developments like Sunset Ridge and Sherrelwood Estates. This intricate engineering highlights the historical importance of water rights and irrigation in Jefferson and Adams Counties.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds including Arvada Cem and the expansive Olinger Crown Hill Mortuary and Cem. The map captures the suburban transformation of the region, showing established neighborhoods such as Far Horizon and Parkway Estates alongside major water bodies like Standley Lake and Pomona Lake Number 1. Inspiration Point provides a notable geographic anchor overlooking the Clear Creek valley.
