About this map

Louisville and Superior anchor this landscape along the Front Range corridor, showcasing a dense network of water management features essential to the high plains. The map traces the intricate paths of the Community Ditch, Davidson Ditch, and Goodhue Ditch, which redirect water toward numerous catchments like Marshall Lake and the Great Western Reservoir. The intersection of industrial history and modern infrastructure is evident near Rocky Flats, where the AEC-North Walnut Creek Reservoir sits just west of the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Sacred Heart of Mary Cem and the Superior Cem. The topography is defined by prominent rises such as Davidson Mesa and Shanahan Hill, while the historical settlement of Marshall sits at the junction of the S Boulder Cr and several legacy irrigation lines. This survey captures the region's character as a highly engineered hydraulic landscape where ranching roots meet modern suburban expansion.
