2016 Map of Falcon NW

About this map

Colorado Springs dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, showcasing the rapid suburban expansion and road networks typical of the mid-2010s. The transition from the urban density of Cimarron Hills and the winding residential drives like E Old Farm Cir and Bluestem Dr into the more open northern reaches of Black Forest illustrates the region's diverse development. To the east, the settlement of Shirley sits in a more sparsely developed area, characterized by the drainage of Sand Creek and its tributaries. Significant water management is evident at the Banning Lewis Reservoir Number 1, while natural drainages like Cottonwood Cr and Shooks Run carve through the increasingly subdivided terrain. The map captures a moment of suburban infill, where established neighborhoods meet the legacy of the high plains ecosystem.
