2010 Map of Denver International Airport

About this map

Denver International Airport dominates this 2010 landscape, its complex layout of runways and terminals including Shady Grove St and N Patsburg St positioned near the Terminal Dam. The map captures a moment of intense transition where modern aviation infrastructure meets the area's agricultural and industrial roots. Traces of an earlier economy are visible in the southern and western portions of the quadrangle, where the Scranton Mine and Two Shafts Mine indicate the region's historical subsurface activity. Residential expansion is noted in the growing neighborhood of Green Valley Ranch, while the older Highline Canal and the smaller Sky Ranch Airport provide a sharp contrast to the massive international hub to the north. Multiple drainages, including Third Creek, Second Creek, and First Creek, carve through the prairie terrain, illustrating the natural geography that dictated the placement of early ranching and mining operations before the massive 21st-century development.
