About this map

Box Elder Creek meanders through the high plains of the Arapahoe and Elbert county line, carving a distinct drainage pattern across this 2016 survey. The landscape reflects a transition from traditional ranching and aviation operations at Harrington Ranch Airport to modern residential expansion. Evidence of suburban growth is visible in the network of winding streets such as Elkhorn Ranch St and Green Mountain Cir south of E Smoky Hill Rd. These newer developments contrast with the long straight sections of Co Rd 194 and Tom Bay Rd that define the older rural grid. Along the western edge, Coal Creek parallels several arterial roads, while the southern terrain is marked by the topographical depression of Hay Gulch.
