About this map

Manhattan and Glendevey anchor this high-altitude landscape during the first decades of the 20th century, where the transition from ranching outposts to early forest management is evident. The northern edge of Rocky Mountain National Park meets the rugged drainage of the Cache la Poudre River, a region defined by scattered family holdings such as the Rugh Ranch, Bennett Ranch, and Williams Ranch. This period captures the infrastructure of the early U.S. Forest Service with multiple stations, including the Lone Pine Ranger Sta and Stub Creek Ranger Sta, positioned to manage the vast timber and watershed resources.
