About this map

Colorado Springs expanding into the high plains northeast of the city center defines the landscape of this 2022 survey. The topography is dominated by the drainage networks of Cottonwood Cr and Sand Creek, where modern residential developments like Cairngorm Way and Loch Fyne Ln are carved into the prairie. This area serves as a significant interface between urban density and open rangeland, characterized by a grid of older thoroughfares such as Burgess Rd and Old Ranch Rd.

In the southeastern quadrant, the settlement of Shirley sits near the Banning Lewis Reservoir Number 1 and the winding course of the E Fork Sand Cr. The map captures the suburban transition of El Paso County, where long-established ranch roads meet new research and technology corridors like Research Pkwy. It provides a clear view of the water management and transportation infrastructure necessary to support growth in this arid environment.
