Morrison is southwest of Denver and is located on State Highway 470 and Morrison Road.
The Morrison postal ZIP code (80465) extends west up Turkey Creek Canyon and south of the town.[14] It thus applies to an area covering approximately 5,000 addresses. Because the Morrison Post Office serves this large area beyond the town boundaries proper, many events and people connected with "Morrison" are actually in unincorporated portions of Jefferson County.
Government[edit]
The local government features a mayor, town manager and a board of trustees.
The town is infamous as a speed trap. Press reports indicate that about half the town's $2.6 million budget comes from traffic fines. More than 90% of police activity is issuing speeding tickets.[15]
