About this map

Sedalia sits at the junction of Plum Creek and West Plum Creek, serving as a focal point for this 2016 survey of Douglas County. The landscape is defined by the transition from the riparian corridors along the BNSF Railway to the elevated terrain of Cherokee Mountain and Racoon Knob. The map documents a significant period of suburban development, capturing the intricate residential networks of Castle Pines, Castle Pines North, and Castle Pines Village as they wrap around the western edge of the plateau.

Further south, the growing outskirts of Castle Rock are visible, including the protected landscape of the Ridgeline Open Space. Smaller, long-standing communities like Louviers and Kellytown provide historical context to the region's industrial and agricultural roots. The map also traces the winding paths of several drainages, including Newlin Gulch and Happy Canyon Creek, which have historically shaped the settlement patterns and transportation routes through this corridor between Denver and Colorado Springs.
