About this map

Fort Logan National Cemetery occupies a central role in this landscape of southwestern Denver and Lakewood. The geography is defined by a dense network of water management features, including the Agricultural Ditch and Rocky Mountain Ditch, which reflect the region's long-standing irrigation requirements. These waterways cut through established residential areas such as Bear Valley, College View, and the Westside Neighborhood, while the South Platte River flows through the eastern edge near Englewood.

Educational institutions are prominent landmarks, with the Auraria Campus in the north and both Colorado Christian University and Colorado Heights University serving as local anchors. The area is also characterized by numerous reservoirs and lakes, from Sloan Lake in the north to the tiered system of the Kendrick Lake Number 1 and Ward Reservoir Number 5. These bodies of water, many held by structures like the Main Dam, provide significant open space alongside recreational sites like the Englewood Municipal Golf Course.
