2016 Map of Greenland

About this map

The settlement of Greenland sits along the western edge of this Colorado survey, positioned where the Greenland Trail and the Old Territorial Road meet. This 2016 record illustrates a transition between the northern reach of Woodmoor and Black Forest at the El Paso and Douglas County line. The topography is defined by a series of prominent summits including Larkspur Butte, Rattlesnake Butte, and Lincoln Mountain, which overlook a complex network of reservoirs and gulches. To the east, the landscape becomes increasingly managed for water resources, featuring several detention facilities such as the West Cherry Creek Detention Number 7 Reservoir and the Franktown Parker FPA-5 Reservoir. The map also captures local-history landmarks like the Spring Valley Cemetery and specialized recreational routes like the Spruce Meadows Loop and Kipp's Loop, reflecting a landscape shared by historical ranching roots and modern residential expansion.
