About this map

The town of Parker serves as the focal point for this survey, showcasing a period of significant suburban expansion along the Cherry Creek corridor. While the original 1964 data anchors the landscape, extensive 1988 revisions reveal the rapid transformation of Douglas and Arapahoe counties. New residential developments like Cottonwood, Stonegate, and Grandview Estates have emerged across the high plains, replacing open rangeland with structured neighborhoods.

Modern infrastructure and recreational facilities are prominent, including the Centennial Airport and Cherry Creek State Park. The map documents a maturing educational landscape with numerous new facilities such as the Pine Lane Primary School and Laredo Middle School. Local history remains visible through older markers like Lewis Cemetery, even as newer landmarks like the Salisbury Equestrian Center and various golf clubs reflect the area's changing recreational character and its shift toward a suburban regional hub.
