2016 Map of Deadman Park

About this map

Roosevelt National Forest dominates this high-country landscape, where a sophisticated network of irrigation ditches and forest roads reveals the area's dual roles in water management and timber research. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Deadman Hill and Little Bald Mtn, which overlook a complex hydrology including Sand Cr, Deadman Cr, and the Fork Cache La Poudre River. The presence of the Deadman Experimental forest area and the Deadman Lookout indicates a long history of resource monitoring and fire management. Significant water engineering projects are visible through the Columbine Ditch, Eaton Ditch, and Davy Ditch, which redirect flow across the ridges. Lower-lying features like the Nunn Creek Basin provide geographical contrast to the high ridges of Green Ridge and Mid Mtn, while the Roaring Creek Trail suggests historical access for recreation and transit through this mountain environment.
