About this map

The South Platte River and Sand Creek anchor an industrial and transit corridor in this 2010 survey, where the dense grid of Denver meets the evolving suburbs and gravel works of the north. The map documents a landscape defined by resource extraction and distribution, evidenced by numerous industrial features such as the Jones Fine Sand Company Pit, Cooley Gravel Company Pit, and the National Western Stockshow Complex.

Genealogists can find significant local history at the historic Riverside Cemetery and Rose Hill Cemetery, while neighborhood researchers can trace the boundaries of established areas like Five Points and Stapleton. The convergence of the Colorado Agricultural Canal and various water control structures like the Copeland Dam highlights the complex irrigation and water management systems necessary for this high-plains urban environment.
