Commerce City and the industrial corridors of the South Platte River define this 2019 survey, illustrating the complex intersection of freight rail and urban expansion. The BNSF Railway and extensive water infrastructure like the Burlington Ditch and O'Brian Canal trace the historic movement of resources through the northern Denver metro area. Smaller, established neighborhoods such as Welby, Derby, and Irondale are shown alongside significant municipal features including the expansive Riverside Cem and Rose Hill Cem. The map provides a contemporary view of the regional trail network, featuring the Sand Creek Greenway Trail and South Platte River Trail, which now weave through areas formerly dominated by heavy industry and rail junctions at Utah Junction.
