1962 Map of Horsetooth Reservoir

About this map

Horsetooth State Recreation Area Reservoir dominates this landscape, its western shores defined by the dramatic ascent into Lory State Park and Horsetooth Mountain Park. The map documents a critical intersection of water management and recreation in the early 1960s, featuring major infrastructure like Dixon Canyon Dam and the Soldier Canyon Reservoir. Along the eastern edge, the transition from high-country topography to the developing outskirts of Fort Collins is evident through markers like Hughes Stadium and the Christman Landing Field.
