About this map

Roosevelt National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Larimer County, where a complex network of water management and primitive transportation routes was established by the late 1960s. The map illustrates the diversion of water through the Eaton Ditch and the Columbine Ditch, infrastructure critical for directing runoff through the varied terrain of Green Ridge and Nunn Creek Basin. The presence of the Deadman Lookout Tower near Little Bald Mtn emphasizes the area's history of fire observation and forestry management.

Movement through the region is limited to the Deadman Road, various Jeep Trails, and a traditional Pack Trail system. These routes connect remote outposts like the Eaton Ditch Camp and cross numerous waterways, including Panhandle Creek, Sand Creek, and Deadman Creek. The topography ranges from the steep slopes of Middle Mountain to the high point of Deadman Hill, providing a detailed record of the drainage patterns of the Lower Nunn Creek and its tributaries.
