About this map

Fort Logan National Cem and the Auraria Campus anchor the urban and commemorative geography of this southwestern Denver corridor. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management, ranging from the South Platte River and Marston Lake to smaller reservoirs like Smith Reservoir and Kendrick Reservoir. These water bodies are connected by numerous ditches and laterals, including the Agricultural Ditch and Salisbury Lateral, reflecting the region's historical reliance on irrigation.

Residential and educational developments are prominent, with the Westside Neighborhood and College View showing the post-war densification of Lakewood and Sheridan. Notable recreational and civic landmarks are scattered throughout, such as Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park, and the Schaefer Athletic Complex. The BNSF Railway corridor tracks alongside industrial and residential zones, providing a clear view of the transit infrastructure connecting Englewood and Littleton to the city center.
