About this map

Colorado Springs dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, showcasing the modern residential expansion and complex street networks of the 21st century. The map illustrates a transition from dense urban development to the more open spaces of Shirley to the east, where the Banning Lewis Reservoir Number 1 provides a significant water management feature. The area's focus on recreation and natural preservation is evident in the extensive trail systems, including the Black Forest Section 16 Trail and paths following the drainage of Cottonwood Cr and Sand Cr. These corridors, such as the Cottonwood Creek Trail and Sand Creek Trail, weave through suburban developments, linking local neighborhoods to the broader environmental landscape of El Paso County. To the north, the terrain remains less densely populated, characterized by named developments like Silver Pond Hts and an arterial road system including Burgess Rd.
