2011 Map of Littleton

About this map

The South Platte River corridor south of Denver defines this suburban landscape, where water management and recreation dominate the terrain. Significant civil engineering is evident in the sprawling waters of Chatfield Lake, held by the Chatfield Dam, and the extensive Highline Canal and City Ditch networks that traverse the residential developments of Columbine and Lakewood. Historically oriented researchers will find the Centennial Racetrack and the Littleton Cemetery in the eastern sector, while the western edge reveals an industrial past with the Deer Creek Mine and New Hedley Mine located near the prominent Hogback. The transition from early agricultural and mining roots to a late-twentieth-century residential hub is marked by numerous neighborhood developments such as Normandy Estates and Meadowbrook Heights, all integrated into a landscape shaped by gulches like Marcy Gulch and Dutch Creek.
