This map displays several overlapping areas that should be considered from an environmental standpoint when planning transportation in the region. These include various land cover types, threatened/critical habitat areas, water features, and watershed basins. The primary areas of potential concern lie in undeveloped areas, such as the wooded areas along the western portion of the MPO and along US24 traveling west and in the northern portion of El Paso County in the Black Forest and surrounding areas.
