About this map

West White Pine Mountain and East White Pine Mountain anchor the northern reaches of this Larimer County landscape, surveyed as part of the Roosevelt National Forest during the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by a network of steep drainages including Backhorn Creek and Box Prairie Creek, which converge near the settlement of Box Prairie. A Lookout Tower sits atop a peak near Lookout Mountain, serving as a vital observation post for the surrounding woodlands.

Evidence of early mountain transit is seen in the varied designations of Flowers Road, multiple segments of Pack Trail, and an Indian Trail winding through the gulches. Resource extraction is noted at a Mine and Quarry, while the Buckhorn Ranger Sta represents the federal administrative presence in this high-altitude environment. Natural landmarks like Donner Pass and Bulwark Ridge provide key navigational points for tracing historical routes through the front range.
