2010 Map of Monument

About this map

Monument and the expanding residential communities of Woodmoor and Gleneagle occupy this high-altitude landscape along the western edge of the Black Forest. The terrain is defined by a series of north-flowing tributaries including Dirty Woman Creek, Jackson Creek, and Smith Creek, with the prominent Monument Hill rising to the north. This 2010 survey highlights a mixture of planned suburban development and traditional land uses, including large holdings like Wissler Ranch and Flying Horse Ranch. To the south, the map captures a portion of the Academy grounds, including the United States Air Force Academy Cemetery. A network of water management features is evident through the series of West Cherry Creek Detention reservoirs, which help manage runoff in the complex watershed. Cultural sites such as the Mount Herman Grange and Saint Benedict Cemetery provide important points of reference for local family history and community heritage.
