2022 Map of Horsetooth Reservoir

About this map

Horsetooth Reservoir dominates the eastern foothills of the Rockies, creating a complex shoreline of inlets and coves like Satanka Cove and Inlet Bay. The surrounding landscape is a mix of high-altitude forest and critical water infrastructure, where the Charles Hansen Canal and Soldier Canyon Reservoir support the growing western edge of Fort Collins. The western terrain within the Roosevelt National Forest is defined by sharp topographic relief at Arthurs Rock and Horsetooth Mtn. For genealogists and local historians, this survey is exceptionally detailed, noting isolated burial sites such as the U S Soldier Grave and the Patterson Grave, alongside several family cemeteries like the Kinnison Family Cem. The transition from the Cache la Poudre River valley into the rugged gulches reveals how the land is managed for both recreation and municipal utility near the Colorado State University Foothills Campus.
