About this map

Roosevelt National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Larimer County, captured just before the 1970s. The area is dominated by complex water management and fire observation infrastructure, centered on the prominent Deadman Lookout Tower and Deadman Hill. An intricate network of irrigation features like the Eaton Ditch and Columbine Ditch cuts across the terrain, supported by the Eaton Ditch Camp.

Transport through this part of the Front Range is limited to the winding Deadman Road and numerous primitive routes, including the Pack Trail and various Jeep Trails. The drainage patterns are well-defined by Nunn Creek, Panhandle Creek, and the southern reach of the Cache La Poudre R. This map provides a detailed view of mid-century forest management and water engineering in a region marked by peaks like Little Bald Mtn and Middle Mountain.
