About this map

The settlement of Peoria serves as the primary focal point on the high plains of the Adams and Arapahoe County border. This region is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage systems, most notably the wide corridor of Middle Bijou Creek and its tributary E Bijou Cr. The landscape is characterized by its wide, open drainages such as Lone Tree Gulch and Bouldin Gulch, which cut through the terrain toward the Bijou basin.

Transportation infrastructure dominates the spatial arrangement of the area, with the diagonal path of Co-40 and 7th Ave intersecting near the core of Peoria. Local travel is facilitated by a grid of rural routes including Rector Leader Rd and Hanks Crossing Rd. The map illustrates the persistent importance of these road networks and natural water features like First Cr in shaping the agricultural and residential layout of this eastern Colorado landscape.
