2019 Map of Lafayette

About this map

The suburban development and complex water management systems of the northern Denver metropolitan area are documented here, where the boundaries of Boulder, Broomfield, Adams, and Jefferson counties converge. Large municipalities including Lafayette, Louisville, and Broomfield are shown in a state of dense expansion, characterized by a sophisticated network of recreational paths like the Coal Creek Trail and Rock Creek Trail. The landscape is defined by its engineering history, featuring an extensive array of reservoirs and ditches such as Waneka Reservoir, Le Gault Reservoir, and the Highline Canal. Higher education and civic centers are prominent, including the Regis University Broomfield Campus and the Broomfield County Courthouse. This map reveals how historical water infrastructure, originally built for agriculture, has been integrated into modern urban planning through numerous greenways and community landmarks like Wallace Village and the Louisville Cemetery.
