USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Cherry Creek Lake and its surrounding Cherry Creek State Recreation Area dominate the northern landscape, where early suburban growth begins to encroach upon the high plains of the Smoky Hill region. The 1965 survey, updated with 1978 photogrammetric data, captures the transition of the Parker area from a quiet settlement near Sulphur Gulch into a more connected community. The presence of the Arapahoe County Airport and the Aurora Water Well Field highlights the infrastructure required for the burgeoning development south of Denver.
