About this map

The suburban expansion of the Denver metropolitan area into northern Douglas and southern Arapahoe counties is clearly visible in this 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from established residential communities like Greenwood Village and Centennial to rapidly growing master-planned developments such as Stonegate and Lone Tree. A significant transportation and logistics hub is centered around Centennial Airport and the Dove Valley area.

Hydrological features including Cherry Creek, Happy Canyon Creek, and several named gulches like Sulphur Gulch and Newlin Gulch weave through the residential grids, often accompanied by local landmarks such as the Aurora Water Well Field. Educational and community anchors like the Arapahoe Community College campus and the historic Lewis Cem and Parker Cem provide vital points for genealogical research and local history mapping.
