2016 Map of Eldorado Springs

About this map

The dramatic transition from the Front Range peaks to the plains is documented in this survey of the region between Boulder and Arvada. This area is characterized by significant water management infrastructure, most notably the large Gross Reservoir and the Anderson Extension Ditch, which redirect flow across the high-elevation terrain. Small mountain communities like Crescent Village, Copperdale, and Twin Spruce are linked by winding routes such as Coal Creek Canyon Dr and Gross Dam Rd. The eastern edge of the map shows the suburban expansion of Boulder, including Viele Lake and Kohler Reservoir, while the rugged interior remains protected within the Roosevelt National Forest. Prominent landmarks such as The Flatirons, Bear Peak, and S Boulder Peak dominate the skyline above Eldorado Springs, a historic resort area known for its unique geology and the Eldorado Springs Cem.
