2019 Map of Eastlake

About this map

Thornton and its neighboring municipalities of Northglenn, Westminster, and Broomfield dominate this suburban landscape at the edge of the Denver metro area. The map reveals an intricate network of water management and recreational infrastructure, characterized by numerous numbered basins like Wadley Reservoir Number 1 and Eastlake Reservoir Number 1. Historical roots are still visible in the established community of Eastlake and the Wesley Chapel Cem, which sit alongside modern developments like the Metropolitan State University of Denver Metro North Campus. To the east, the terrain transitions toward the South Platte River valley, where settlements such as Hazeltine and Hazeltine Heights reflect the area's agricultural and industrial heritage. A vast system of recreational paths, including the Big Dry Creek Trail and S Platte River Trail, follows the historical alignment of irrigation features like the Farmers High Line Canal.
