About this map

Glen Haven sits at the junction of the North Fork Big Thompson River and West Fork Creek, serving as a central mountain settlement in Larimer County during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Bulwark Ridge and Storm Mountain, with the topography transitioning into the protected lands of Roosevelt National Forest and the eastern edge of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Residential and recreational developments like Loveland Heights, Olympus Heights, and the H Bar G Ranch reflect the area's growth as a mountain retreat. Transportation is anchored by the winding Devils Gulch Road, which connects these small communities to the Estes Park Fairground and the shores of Lake Estes. The map also captures local resource extraction through a Quarry and Gravel Pit, positioned near the canyon floor where the Big Thompson River cuts through the granite terrain.
