2016 Map of Castle Rock North

About this map

Castle Rock and Parker anchor this 2016 survey of Douglas County, showing a landscape defined by rapid residential expansion and the preserved corridor of the Cherry Creek Trail. The map documents the transition from established ranching lands to suburban developments like The Pinery and Castle Pines, while still identifying foundational heritage sites such as Fonder Cem and Franktown Cem. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Newlin Gulch and Bayou Gulch, leading toward the Franktown Parker FPM-1 Reservoir. Notable local landmarks including Hidden Mesa and the Arapahoe Community College - Castle Rock Campus highlight the modern institutional and recreational character of the region. The map preserves the exact layout of historic crossroads like Franktown alongside the winding course of Cherry Creek, illustrating the enduring influence of the area's original water and trail systems on contemporary growth patterns.
