2013 Map of Watkins
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
Box Elder Creek meanders through the center of this landscape, cutting a north-south path across the high plains of the Adams and Arapahoe county line. In the north, the small settlement of Watkins sits at the junction of E Colfax Ave and several local thoroughfares, serving as a landmark on the edge of the expanding Aurora metropolitan area. The eastern portion of the sheet is defined by the ephemeral courses of Coal Creek and W Sand Cr, while the southern reaches contain the Running Creek Cem and the Harrington Ranch Airport. This territory reflects a phase of transition where large agricultural sections and open range meet a grid of developing rural roads such as E Quincy Ave and S Manila Rd.
