1957 Map of Parker

About this map

Cherry Creek meanders northward through this landscape as it appeared in the mid-1950s, feeding into the Cherry Creek Reservoir at the top of the sheet. The small settlement of Parker serves as a focal point near the confluence of Sulphur Gulch and Tallman Gulch, showing a traditional town grid before the era of intensive suburban expansion. The transition from agricultural use to infrastructure is evident in the presence of the Aurora Water Supply and the Cherry Creek Grange Hall, alongside a Railroad Grade that follows the creek valley.
