Haystack Mtn and Gun Barrel Hill anchor this map of the corridor between Boulder and Lafayette, illustrating a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water storage. The heavy density of man-made waterways, including the Boulder and Whiterock Ditch and the Holland Left Hand Ditch, highlights the region's historical reliance on managed water for agriculture and municipal development. Local industry and institutional growth are visible through the large IBM Plant and the Naropa Univ Nalanda Campus. The map also preserves traces of the area's older history through the Niwot Cem and Valmont Cem, while highlighting modern transitions with the presence of the Boulder Municipal Airport and Ashlawn Airport.
