About this map

Cherry Valley School sits near the upper reaches of W Cherry Cr in this rural landscape where Douglas, Elbert, and El Paso counties meet. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Crowfoot Cr and Running Cr, that cut through the terrain toward several flood control structures such as the Franktown Parker FPA-2 Reservoir.

Transport and aviation play a distinct role in this high-country setting, evidenced by the presence of Kelly Air Park and Ambrosich Field amidst the ranch land. To the south, the map captures the northern edge of the Black Forest and the prominence of Bucks Mtn. Local ranching history is etched into the road network, with names like Diamond K Ranch Rd and the Pony Express Rd tracing the paths of earlier settlement and communication through the gulches.
