About this map

Boulder Ridge and Green Mountain define this high-altitude landscape on the Colorado-Wyoming border in Larimer County. The area is defined by a complex network of drainage systems including Sheep Creek, Sand Creek, and Beaver Creek, which feed into the prominent Eaton Reservoir. This reservoir is contained by the Worster Dam, a focal point for the local water management.

Evidence of early ranching and settlement history is preserved through labels like the Worster Cemetery, located near Lone Tree Creek. The road network, including Cherokee Park Rd and Wilderness Ranch Rd, suggests a remote area utilized for grazing and recreation. The varied hydrologic features, from Owl Spring to the winding West Fork Beaver Creek, illustrate the importance of water resources in this part of the northern Front Range.
