About this map

The high plains east of Denver show a transition from suburban expansion to open rangeland in this 2013 survey. The eastern fringes of Aurora and Denver appear in the western reaches of the map, where the city grid begins to give way to the rural sections of Adams County. Centered in the landscape is the Front Range Airport, a significant aviation hub defined by its organized taxiways and roads such as Cessna Way and Front Range Pkwy.

Natural drainage patterns like Box Elder Creek, Bear Gulch, and Horse Cr cut through the terrain, contrasting with the rigid geometry of the section lines. The settlement of Manila sits in the southeastern corner, connected by a network of rural routes including N Manila Rd and Cavanaugh Mill Rd. This map documents a moment when the expanding metropolitan footprint met the established agricultural and industrial infrastructure of the Colorado plains.
