2013 Map of Eastlake

About this map

The intersection of agriculture and suburban expansion defines this portion of the northern Denver metropolitan area, where numerous irrigation features like Signal Ditch and German Ditch continue to serve the landscape. The settlement of Eastlake sits centrally, surrounded by the growing municipalities of Thornton, Northglenn, and Westminster. This era of the landscape is marked by a high density of water storage facilities, including Wadley Reservoir Number 1 and Eastlake Reservoir Number 1, which supported the region's transition from open fields to residential communities. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Wesley Chapel Cemetery and Highland Memorial Gardens. To the southeast, the industrial and transport history of the area is evident at Hazeltine Siding and the community of Quimby, while educational development is noted at the Metropolitan State University of Denver North Campus.
