About this map

Roosevelt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Larimer County, where the Cache La Poudre River carves a deep valley through the terrain. In the early 1960s, this area served as a focal point for mountain recreation and early water management, evidenced by the tunnel system near Emerald Lake and the concentration of visitor facilities. Small settlements like Spencer Heights and Red Place provided outposts for travelers, while the Sportsman Lodge and a local Trading Post anchored the community near the riverbanks. The mapping of Boston Peak and Elephant Mountain highlights the prominence of the Green Ridge formation. A network of Trails and Jeep Trails provides access to remote water bodies like Lily Pond Lake and Twin Lakes, illustrating the seasonal use patterns of the forest before modern expansions.
