2022 Map of Greenland

About this map

Greenland serves as a central anchor in this portion of Douglas County, where the transition from high plains to prominent foothills is marked by a series of distinctively named summits. These elevations, including Larkspur Butte, Rattlesnake Butte, and Lincoln Mtn, define the topography and steer the local drainage of Carpenter Cr and Antelope Creek. The landscape is a mix of open range and modern water management, evidenced by several detention reservoirs along the eastern edge and the private Allis Reservoir near Bald Mtn. Local transit history is etched into the terrain via routes such as the Spruce Meadows Trl and Lincoln Mountain Trail Top Loop Trl, which navigate the complex relief. For researchers, the presence of the Spring Valley Cem near W Cherry Cr provides a specific site for genealogical study, while labels like Nemrick Butte and Corner Mtn offer fixed points of reference for tracing historic land boundaries.
