About this map

Hillcrest Village and Kirkgaard Acres represent the dense residential fabric of eastern Aurora during this period of the early twenty-first century. The landscape is a complex network of established neighborhoods such as Chambers Heights, Apache Mesa, and Hallcrafts Village East, situated near major institutional anchors including the Univ of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Buckley Air Force Base.

Hydrological engineering is central to the area's development, evidenced by the winding path of the Highline Canal and the presence of Quincy Reservoir. Open space and memorial sites are prominently featured, from the expansive Cherry Creek State Park in the southwest to the Mt Nebo Memorial Park and The Cremation Gardens at Rocky Mtn Memorial Park. This survey provides a precise record of the suburban growth and public infrastructure defining the Denver-Aurora corridor.
