About this map

The geological transition of the Front Range is clearly visible on this sheet, where the foothills of Mount Zion and Lookout Mountain meet the high plains. Industrial and military land use define much of the landscape, from the Denver Federal Center and the Camp George West (National Guard) to the многочисленные Claypits and Mines dotting the ridges. The survey captures the suburban expansion of Lakewood and Golden, while preserving the footprints of older communities like Idledale and Morrison.

Recreational landmarks are prominent, including the iconic Red Rocks Park and the nearby Bandimere Speedway. To the south, the recently developed Bear Creek Lake and Soda Lakes contrast with the rugged slopes of Green Mountain. Historic sites like the Mother Cabrini Shrine and the Buffalo Bill Memorial Museum reflect the area's spiritual and cultural heritage, while the extensive trail systems of Apex Park and Matthews/Winters Park mark the preservation of the hogback terrain.
