What we know

A townsite plat filed by A. J. Levy on July 12, 1889, at Parker (Douglas County plat book, p. 113, via the county map, S-0123); not the Denver suburb. Whether any of it was built is not known.

Where it was

Point in the 2011 KML of the county's Historic Resource Map (Settlement folder; S-0123). Good to a few hundred feet as a pin.

Placed from a written description, such as a land section, a distance from a landmark or an old survey note.
