2013 Map of Cherokee Park

About this map

The Roosevelt National Forest dominates this section of the Colorado and Wyoming borderlands, where the high country of Larimer and Albany counties meets. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Cache La Poudre River and numerous tributaries such as Fish Creek and Bull Creek. Local history is centered on scattered highland ranches, including the Cherokee Ranch, Trail Creek Ranch, and the Trails End settlement, which features the Trails End Ranch Cem. Named peaks and geological formations like Mount Kimball, Mount Evelyn, and Haystack Rock punctuate the terrain, while the Prairie Divide in the south provides a natural landmark. The map detail reflects a transition from forested wilderness to private mountain holdings, connected by primitive routes like High Lonesome Rd and Gunflint Rd.
