2013 Map of Piney Creek

About this map

Aurora and Parker display the expansive suburban development of the early 21st century along the Colorado Front Range. The landscape is a network of planned residential communities, including Ponderosa Hills, Saddlebrook, and Homestead Hills, interspersed with significant drainage features like Piney Creek and Sulphur Gulch. The northern section is dominated by the Aurora Reservoir, while the presence of the Everitt Airport further south highlights the region's diverse infrastructure. This survey captures a moment of intense urban growth as neighborhoods like Centennial and Parkborough fill the rolling terrain between the Arapahoe, Douglas, and Elbert county lines, reflecting the modern residential shift away from the traditional city core.
