2019 Map of Haystack Gulch

About this map

Roosevelt National Forest dominates this landscape in Larimer County, defined by a complex drainage system where the North, Middle, and South Forks of Rabbit Creek converge. The terrain is marked by prominent high points such as Sheep Mtn and Haystack Butte, while the Prairie Divide serves as a significant geographic boundary in the northwest. Recreational and local travel routes are deeply integrated into the topography, with Lone Pine Horse Trail and Equestrian Road cutting through the canyons. Notable local landmarks like Stuart Hole and Bull Garden indicate a history of land use tied to specific natural clearings and basins. The mapping of Lone Pine Creek and Teakettle Canyon illustrates the intricate erosional patterns that have shaped this high-elevation region.
