About this map

Aspen Park and Conifer serve as the primary hubs in this part of the Front Range, where suburban residential growth meets the sprawling boundaries of the Arapahoe National Forest. The landscape is defined by its deep drainage networks, particularly the systems of N Turkey Cr, S Turkey Cr, and Turkey Cr which carve through the foothills near Berrian Mountain. Local aviation is represented by two private airstrips, the Marshdale Airport and Meyer Ranch Airport, reflecting the area's development as a mountain retreat for the Denver metropolitan region.

For those tracing family history, several dedicated grounds are detailed, including Evergreen Memorial Park Cem, Conifer Cem, and Pleasant Park Cem. Numerous mountain peaks and gulches provide specific landmarks for locating old homesteads or property lines, such as Evergreen Mountain, Legault Mountain, and Herzman Mesa. The transition from old thoroughfares to modern transit is visible along the path of Old US Highway 285 as it parallels the newer alignment of Us-285 N.
