About this map

Roosevelt National Forest dominates the topography of this Larimer County landscape, where the high-country drainage systems of the Rabbit Creek and Lone Pine Creek forks converge. The 2013 survey illustrates a transition from the mountainous woodland to the residential developments of Red Feather Highlands and the settlement at Log Cabin. Significant elevation changes are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Sheep Mountain, Haystack Butte, and the curiosities of Teakettle Canyon and Stuart Hole.

Backcountry access is defined by a network of forest service routes and trails, most notably the Lone Pine Creek Trail 951, which follows the namesake watercourse through the forest interior. Further north, the settlement of Prairie Divide sits near the headwaters of the North Fork Rabbit Creek, while the ranching and timber heritage of the region is evident in the naming of local landmarks like Bull Garden and Haystack Gulch.
