1960 Map of Haystack Gulch

About this map

Roosevelt National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by the intricate branching of the Rabbit Creek system. In the early 1960s, this area of the Front Range remained largely undeveloped, with human activity centered around the small settlement of Log Cabin and the nearby Lone Pine Sch. The topography is marked by named heights like Sheep Mountain and Blacktail Point, while the northern portion of the sheet is characterized by the open expanse of Prairie Divide. Water management and natural springs are evident throughout the terrain, feeding into larger drainages such as Lone Pine Creek and Gordon Creek. Industrial footprints are minimal but present, notably at Sloans Quarry, suggesting localized resource extraction. The road network, including the Red Feather Road and Lakes Road, provides a clear view of the historic transit corridors through this part of Larimer County.
