1942 Map of Parker
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
The town of Parker and the northern settlement of Melvin anchor this 1942 survey, documenting the drainage systems and early road networks south of Denver. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Cherry Creek and its many tributaries, including Piney Creek, Badger Creek, and Newlin Creek. This era of development is marked by significant water infrastructure, most notably the Arapaho Canal and its associated Lateral works, which supported early agriculture across the Arapahoe and Douglas County line.
