1967 Map of Glendevey

About this map

The settlement of Glendevey and the Glendevey PO anchor this high-altitude landscape in the 1960s, situated where the Laramie River flows through the northern reaches of the Roosevelt National Forest. The map captures a complex system of water management essential for mountain agriculture, featuring numerous named irrigation works like the Stuart Ditch No 1, Homestead McIntyre Ditch, and Martin Ditch No 1 that lace the valley floor. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the Rawah Wilderness, defined by drainage basins for McIntyre Creek and Stuart Creek. Historic recreational use is evident at Hooligan Roost Campground and Browns Park Campground, while the small Cem near the river and the remote junction at Four Corners provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early Larimer County residents and ranchers.
