About this map

Green Ridge and the high peaks of the Colorado National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape during the early twentieth century. The map details the remote settlements and infrastructure of northern Larimer County, where ranching and forest management shaped the local economy. Established outposts like Glendevey, The Rustic, and Home appear alongside several family-named landmarks including Williams Ranch and Ramsey Ranch.

Water management and conservation efforts are evident through the presence of the Greeley Poudre Tunnel and several ranger stations, such as the Manhattan Ranger Sta and Lone Pine Ranger Sta. The northern boundary traces the Wyoming-Colorado state line, showing how early transit routes like the State Road navigated the complex terrain between Boulder Creek and the Laramie River. This survey provides a record of the region's development before its incorporation into the modern national park system.
