About this map

Aurora and Parker define the suburban expansion southeast of Denver, where master-planned residential developments meet the remaining open drainages of the High Plains. The landscape is marked by the massive Aurora Reservoir in the northeast and smaller hydrological features like the Franktown Parker FPB-1 Reservoir. These water sources sit amidst a transition from dense neighborhoods like Parkborough and Park View to the more expansive layouts of Ponderosa East.

Transport and infrastructure are central to the area's layout, anchored by the S Aurora Pkwy and the presence of the Everitt Airport. Local history is embedded in the winding paths of Sulphur Gulch and Piney Creek, which served as natural corridors long before the establishment of subdivisions like Travois and Saddlebrook. The map highlights the intersection of modern municipal growth and the original prairie topography at Dove Hill.
