About this map

Roosevelt National Forest and the eastern edge of Rocky Mountain National Park meet in this 1962 survey, which documents the rugged canyon settlements along the Big Thompson River. The community of Glen Haven serves as a central hub at the confluence of Fox Creek and the North Fork, surrounded by prominent peaks like Triangle Mountain and Storm Mountain. The map illustrates the early recreation and residential patterns of Larimer County, including the H Bar G Ranch, Camp Bob Wade, and several roadside picnic grounds and campgrounds.

Transport through this steep terrain follows the river valleys and ancient paths like the Indian Trail. In the southern reaches, the growing footprints of Loveland Heights and Glen Comfort are visible as they approach Lake Estes near Estes Park. The survey also captures smaller details like a Quarry and Gravel Pit, pointing to the local infrastructure needs of these high-elevation mountain communities during the mid-century.
