About this map

Montbello and Sable anchor this detailed 2016 survey of the northeastern Denver metro area, where the urban grid meets a complex system of water management. The landscape is defined by the intersection of residential development and industrial infrastructure, notably along the Uprr rail lines and major thoroughfares like Fitzsimons Pkwy. Significant water features including the Highline Canal, O'Brian Canal, and Sand Cr weave through the terrain, alongside a series of northern reservoirs such as Derby Lake and Ladora Lake.

The map reveals the area's institutional footprint, featuring the Lincoln Coll of Technology and the Olinger Eastlawn Cem. This modern record details the transition from the dense street networks of Denver and Aurora to the open spaces of Commerce City. For those tracking more recent development, the network of recreation trails like the Woodland Trail and Legacy Trail shows how the suburban corridor was evolving in the mid-2010s.
