About this map

Montbello and Magnolia center this 2013 topographic study, illustrating the dense suburban expansion where Denver, Aurora, and Commerce City converge. The landscape is defined by its complex water management and transportation networks, featuring the historic Highline Canal winding through the eastern developments and the O'Brian Canal in the northwest. Local landmarks such as the Rocky Mountain Speedway and Fitzsimons Golf Course are situated alongside modern thoroughfares, highlighting the area's transition into a major metropolitan hub.

Water features like Landora Lake, Derby Lake, and Bluff Lake sit in contrast to the industrialized corridors and residential grids. The convergence of First Cr and Sand Cr provides a look at the natural drainage patterns remaining amidst significant urban infill. For genealogists, the Olinger Eastlawn Cem near the eastern boundary and the old rail-adjacent settlement of Sable offer specific points of historical interest.
