As of November 2024, quite a bit of construction related to the Rocky Mountain Greenway is going on: two Refuge-internal bridges and the flyover bridge that will connect Westminster open space with the Refuge. It will be a while before Fish&Wildlife Service maps are updated.
The maps below are intended for recreational users. One has QR codes which will fire up Google Maps and show you some of the lesser-known access points on the southern Refuge boundary. This map should be downloaded and printed--its resolution is high enough to read the QR codes with your cell phone camera.
- Trail map with southern access points as QR codes. (Back side: a brief review of Refuge safety. QR codes there take you to pages on https://rockyflatsneighbors.org )
- Sampling points throughout Refuge
- Approximate contour map (pCi/g) together with trail maps and sampling locations.
- A close-up of the Refuge area near the Indiana St bridge.
Other maps, for those interested, show the locations of all soil sampling activities (from the DOE before [Refuge] and after [COU] the Superfund cleanup). Some maps have contours of constant Pu concentration (in pCi/g, to be compared with about 54 pCi/g from natural radioisotopes). Generally the contours are shown with all sampling points, to remind you that closely spaced contours are only really meaningful for closely-spaced sampling points. Generally all can be zoomed considerably without being too colossal.
