2019 Map of Highlands Ranch

About this map

Highlands Ranch and the southern Denver metropolitan area are defined by a complex network of planned residential developments and educational institutions. This 2019 survey captures the modern landscape of Douglas County and Arapahoe County, where the historical Highline Canal and Arapahoe Canal wind through established neighborhoods like Southglenn and Centennial. The region is a notable hub for higher education, featuring campuses for Metropolitan State University of Denver, Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, and Devry University. The natural topography of Highlands Point and the drainage basins of Big Dry Creek and Marcy Gulch contrast with the dense infrastructure of Englewood and Littleton. Significant burial and memorial sites, such as Olinger Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens, are preserved amidst the suburban expansion.
