About this map

Aurora dominates this 2019 landscape, showcasing a dense suburban fabric that bridges the space between Denver and Buckley Air Force Base. The map reveals a highly structured environment defined by educational and medical institutions, most notably the expansive University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and the Community College of Aurora Centretech Campus. These campuses are surrounded by a network of recreational corridors, including the historic High Line Canal Trail and the Sand Creek Greenway Trail, which provide a continuous green framework through the developed neighborhoods.

To the south, the terrain transitions toward more open spaces around Cherry Creek Lake and Quincy Reservoir. This area preserves a mix of residential growth and natural drainages like Shop Creek and Westerly Creek. The presence of established memorial sites, such as Mount Nebo Memorial Park, alongside newer developments in Centennial and Greenwood Village, illustrates the long-term evolution of the Denver metropolitan area's eastern flank.
