2016 Map of Monument

About this map

Monument and the northern reaches of Colorado Springs serve as the anchors for this mid-2010s landscape, where residential development meets the high plains and foothills. The map reveals a complex water management system characterized by the West Cherry Creek Detention Number 2 Reservoir and several other numbered detention basins along W Cherry Cr. Significant institutional landmarks are present, including the northern edge of the United States Air Force Academy Cem and the AFA Falcon Trail Loop. From the established community of Palmer Lake to the residential enclaves of Woodmoor and Gleneagle, the area is knit together by historic routes and modern thoroughfares like the Santa Fe Regional Trail, which follows the old rail corridor through the heart of the valley near Monument Cr.
