2022 Map of Horse Creek

About this map

Horse Creek Reservoir and the Denver-Hudson Canal anchor this agricultural and transit corridor on the edge of the High Plains. The landscape reflects the expansion of the Denver metropolitan footprint, most notably through the northeast reach of Denver International Airport where it crosses the Denver Co Adams Co boundary. Water management is a central theme, as the seasonal paths of Horse Cr, Box Elder Cr, and Lost Cr are supplemented by man-made storage like Boot Lake Reservoir. The grid of section roads, including Hudson Mile Rd and Cavanaugh Rd, underscores the transition from traditional farming tracts to industrial and aviation infrastructure at the state's primary transportation hub.
