2016 Map of Golden

About this map

Golden and its surrounding geological landmarks define this landscape, where the dramatic mesas of N Table Mtn and S Table Mtn overlook the valley. The map documents the extensive water management infrastructure of the Front Range, featuring the Croke Canal and numerous reservoirs such as Standley Lake and Ralston Reservoir. Education and industry are central to the area's identity, anchored by the Colorado Sch of Mines and the Warren Technology N Sch. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Mount Olivet Cem and the specialized White Ash Mine Cem. The residential growth of Arvada, Wheat Ridge, and Lakewood contrasts with the specialized facilities and open reaches of Rocky Flats to the north, providing a detailed view of Jefferson County's developed and natural character.
