1949 Map of Parker
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Parker serves as the focal point for this late-1940s survey of the high plains south of Denver, capturing a transitional period of agricultural land use and early infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the drainage network of Cherry Creek, where numerous gulches like Baldwin Gulch and Taleman Gulch feed into the primary waterway. Irrigation is a prominent feature of the era, evidenced by the Arapaho Canal, the Lateral Canal, and the two reservoirs, Clark Reservoir No 1 and Clark Reservoir No 2.
