2019 Map of Watkins

About this map

The high plains of eastern Colorado meet the expanding urban reach of Aurora in this detailed survey, which spans the boundary of Adams and Arapahoe Counties. The settlement of Watkins serves as a primary reference point in the north, while the landscape further south remains largely defined by agricultural tracts and natural drainage systems. Significant watercourses including Box Elder Creek and Coal Creek meander through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of the region. Local history and aviation interests are represented by the presence of the Running Creek Cemetery and the Harrington Ranch Airport, both situated in the more open southern sections of the quadrangle. A dense network of grid-based roads such as E Colfax Ave and S Watkins Rd reveals the systematic platting of the land as it transitions from rural homesteads to suburban development.
