About this map

Aurora's expansive residential development and military infrastructure define this 2010 landscape, dominated by the Buckley Air National Guard Base and its accompanying Buckley Air National Guard Base Dam. The map reveals a dense network of suburban subdivisions established in the latter half of the 20th century, including the Hoffman Heights and Chambers Heights neighborhoods. These residential blocks are interspersed with significant recreational sites like the Aurora Hills Golf Course and the Meadow Hills Golf Course.

Hydrological features are central to the area's organization, with the Highline Canal and Toll Gate Creek winding through the built environment. To the south, the massive Cherry Creek Lake, held by the Cherry Creek Dam, creates a major recreational and ecological anchor within the Cherry Creek State Park. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of the Mount Nebo Cemetery and Eastlawn Memorial Gardens, alongside older community markers like the Victory Grange.
