2013 Map of Estes Park

About this map

Estes Park serves as the gateway to high-altitude wilderness, where the confluence of the Big Thompson River and Fall River meets early 21st-century residential growth. This map illustrates the transition from the organized grid of the town center to the sprawling Stanley Heights Subdivision and Fall River Estates Subdivision, set against the dramatic verticality of the Roosevelt National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park. Cultural landmarks like the McGraw Ranch and the Colorado State Fish Hatchery reflect the area’s legacy of land management and recreation. The geography is defined by massive granite features including Lumpy Ridge, Mummy Mountain, and The Twin Owls, which overlook the valley floor. Geologists and local historians can trace the specific boundaries of Hondius Park and the rugged drainage of the North Fork Big Thompson River, alongside several local burial grounds such as Saint Bartholomew Episcopal Church Cem and MacGregor Ranch Cem.
