2016 Map of Horsetooth Reservoir

About this map

Horsetooth Reservoir dominates the center of this landscape west of Fort Collins, its jagged shoreline divided into distinct sections like Satanka Cove, Soldier Canyon Cove, and Inlet Bay. To the east, the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal and Larimer County Canal Number 2 indicate the managed water infrastructure supporting the valley. The map is particularly rich in genealogical markers, documenting several family burial sites and individual markers including the Bardwell Family Cem, the Kinnison Family Cem, and a U S Soldier Grave in Mill Canyon. The western heights rise into the Roosevelt National Forest, where prominent summits like Horsetooth Mtn and Arthurs Rock tower over Well Gulch and Happy Hollow Gulch. The northern edge captures the community of Laporte along the Cache la Poudre River.
