2019 Map of Greenland

About this map

The settlement of Greenland serves as a central point in this landscape of high buttes and drainage gulches along the Douglas and El Paso County line. Notable high points like Larkspur Butte, Rattlesnake Butte, and Lincoln Mtn overlook a complex network of ranching roads and modern trails. Transportation history is visible through the path of the Old Territorial Road and the Greenland Trail, which parallel the modern interstate corridor. The eastern half of the map is defined by water management and rural life, featuring the Spring Valley Cemetery and a series of detention reservoirs, including West Cherry Cr Detention Number 7 and the Franktown Parker FPA-5. These features, along with names like True Mtn and Bald Mtn, illustrate the transition from early territorial travel routes to established agricultural and residential patterns in the Front Range foothills.
