Significant Riparian Corridors

The significant riparian corridors were identified as part of a limited study conducted in 1986-87 and do not necessarily represent the full extent of significant riparian corridors Countywide. Policies associated with riparian areas focus on conservation of these resources through land use review as well as acquisition, coordination, and technical assistance with other agencies and landowners. The following areas are identified as significant riparian corridors: Boulder Creek downstream of the Green Ditch headgate, Coal Creek from the Jefferson County line to S. 66th Street, and South Boulder Creek from the mouth of Eldorado Canyon to the South Boulder ditch headgate. Source Scale is 1:50,000.
