About this map

The South Platte River corridor defines the eastern edge of this urbanized Colorado landscape, where the municipal boundaries of Denver, Sheridan, and Englewood converge. This 2016 survey documents a dense network of water management features essential to the region's development, ranging from the historic Agricultural Ditch and Rocky Mountain Ditch to a series of numbered reservoirs like Ward Reservoir Number 1 and Kendrick Lake Number 1.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the multiple columbariums noted across the quadrangle, including the Saint Paul's Episcopal Columbarium and the Atonement Lutheran Church Columbarium. The map also captures the educational and transit infrastructure of the era, from the campus of Colorado Christian Univ to the active BNSF Railway lines. The varied topography is marked by several gulches, such as Weir Gulch and Sanderson Gulch, which remain visible even as residential and commercial growth has filled the surrounding neighborhoods.
