About this map

Roosevelt National Forest and the eastern gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park define this 1962 landscape. The settlement of Glen Haven sits at the junction of Fox Creek and the North Fork Big Thompson River, connected to the growing vacation and residential hubs of Loveland Heights and Olympus Heights by the winding Devils Gulch Road. The eastern edge of Estes Park is visible, featuring the newly engineered Olympus Dam and Lake Estes, which fundamentally altered the local drainage and river system.

Remote mountain life is evidenced by the H Bar G Ranch and a network of pack trails, including the Signal Mtn Trail and Storm Mountain Trail. High peaks like Storm Mountain and Crosier Mountain tower over deep drainages such as Dark Gulch and True Gulch. The contrast between the developed resort corridors and the primitive forest interior highlights the region's mid-century evolution as a recreation destination.
