2022 Map of Big Narrows

About this map

Roosevelt National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by the winding course of the Cache la Poudre Wild and Scenic River. Small settlements such as Eggers and open meadows like Kelley Flats mark the canyon floor, while the surrounding peaks and ridges, including Manhead Mtn and the Mummy Range, illustrate the complex topography of the Front Range. Isolated historical markers like the Azuba Batterson Grave near Mt Moriah and the Kitty-Lyon Grave along Pendergrass Cr offer distinct points of interest for genealogists tracing early residents in these high-altitude gulches. The transition from the canyon narrows at Big Narrows to the broader spaces of Pendergrass Flats reveals the varied geological character of the drainage basin, where tributaries like Elkhorn Cr and Bennett Cr meet the main river channel.
