Cute move splitting Douglas County into 3 parts so it appears that you are following county lines.

He also split Boulder County, which is a mirror of Douglas in many ways.
Longmont has been in the northern district forever.  It probably needed it for the extra population.  It looks like the map makers ignored Broomfield.

Isn't it that little hook at the southeastern edge of the 2nd district? Or am I giving too much leeway for clumsiness in drawing?
The original city of Broomfield was on the Boulder-Jefferson line just west of Adams, so the part of 7 that goes underneath Broomfield would be in Jefferson County, above the chunk of blue added to the NE  corner of Denver (Arvada? and Wheat Ridge?)  Perhaps the map-maker exaggerated the width of the corridor to make it look more connected.  It also isn't clear what he is doing with the Adams part of Aurora.
