Universal's maps are as good as any national map publisher. Check and
see if it's their artwork; they have used other cartography firms in
addition to their own staff in the past. I think Lawrence Group used
to do their Denver maps.

Of course, local knowledge is a useful thing, so you may find a
different level of knowledge reflected in for example Mapsco's Denver
maps.
