2010 Map of Parker

About this map

Lewis Cemetery and the Aurora Water Well Field sit atop a landscape undergoing rapid suburban transformation southeast of Denver. This area, anchored by Centennial and Parker, shows a transition from historical agricultural infrastructure like the Arapahoe Canal to modern transportation and commercial hubs. The Centennial Airport dominates the central-western portion of the map, surrounded by burgeoning office parks and residential developments like Algonquin Acres and Grand View Estates. Water management is a primary feature of the local geography, evidenced by the large Cherry Creek Lake in the north and several smaller catchments including Inverness Reservoir and the Franktown Parker FPP 1 Reservoir. While the landscape is heavily developed, remnants of earlier industries persist, such as the Madis Mine located near Baldwin Gulch.
