About this map

Haystack Mountain and Gun Barrel Hill rise above a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and modern development north of Boulder. This 2013 survey details the complex water management infrastructure essential to the region, including the Boulder Feeder Canal, Holland Ditch, and the massive Boulder Reservoir. These waterways support the agriculture and communities of Niwot and Gunbarrel, while industry and infrastructure are represented by the Table Mountain Antenna Field Sites and the City of Boulder Wastewater Treatment Facility.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important burial grounds, such as Niwot Cem, Valmont Cem, and Mtn View Cem. The transition from old agricultural roots to suburban expansion is evident in the proximity of Valmont Butte to the growing Boulder Junction. Educational and aviation landmarks also punctuate the terrain, from the Southwest Acupuncture College to the Boulder Municipal Airport.
