About this map

Diamond Peak and the surrounding high country of Larimer County dominate this 2011 survey, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation and complex drainage systems. The North Fork Cache La Poudre River flows across the southern portion of the map, fed by a network of seasonal and perennial streams including Sheep Creek, George Creek, and Cornelius Creek. The terrain is punctuated by significant summits such as Bald Mountain, Iron Mountain, and Deadhorse Mountain, which separate the various creek basins.

Transportation through this area relies on established routes like Cherokee Park Rd and Co RD 59, alongside smaller tracks such as the Prickly-Pear Path. This map is particularly useful for understanding the interface between natural landmarks and managed land, notably at Chicken Park and the deep relief of Devils Canyon. The presence of Kelsey Lake in the northeast corner provides a rare still-water feature among the numerous descending draws like Log Draw.
