About this map

Aurora and Centennial dominate the northern landscape of this 2022 survey, illustrating the modern expansion of these suburbs into the drainage basins of the Colorado Piedmont. The Aurora Reservoir serves as a prominent recreational and water storage centerpiece, surrounded by an intricate network of paths including the Aurora Reservoir Trl and Regional Connection Trl. This area marks a transition from dense residential development to the more open, equestrian-focused community of Parker in the south.

Significant topographical features include the winding path of Piney Cr and numerous drainage ways such as Sampson Gulch and Baldwin Gulch. The southern half of the map reveals a lower density of settlement, featuring the Everitt Airport and the Franktown Parker FPB-1 Reservoir. These features reflect the complex management of water resources and suburban growth along the county lines of Arapahoe, Douglas, and Elbert.
