About this map

Roosevelt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Colorado and Wyoming, as captured in the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Diamond Peak and Deadhorse Mountain, which overlook a network of watercourses like Sheep Creek and Cornelius Creek. To the south, the North Fork Cache la Poudre River winds through the topography near Chicken Park.

Evidence of historical activity is seen in the Cherokee Park Road and various Jeep Trails that navigate the slopes. Small-scale resource exploration is indicated by the presence of Prospects located between the northern boundary and Pratt Creek. This area serves as a significant drainage basin for the river system, with Devils Canyon and Devils Creek carving distinct paths through the forest towards the southern edge of the quadrangle.
