1962 Map of Big Narrows

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Cache La Poudre River cuts a dramatic path through the Roosevelt National Forest, anchoring a landscape defined by isolated homesteads and high-elevation mountain peaks. In the early 1960s, this area of Larimer County supported small-scale operations and remote living, evidenced by the Bosworth Homestead and Clark Homestead. Transportation was concentrated along the Red Feather Lakes Road and the winding Flowers Road, providing access to high points like Manhead Mountain and Lonetree Mountain. The river valley itself features notable recreational and industrial markings, from the Narrows Picnic Area near the Big Narrows to the Gaging Sta at Dutch George Flats. Local history is preserved in the naming of geographic features like Pendergrass Flats and the curious Hole-in-the-Wall Mine, indicating a history of resource extraction and family settlement in this mountain corridor.
