1962 Map of Horsetooth Reservoir

About this map

Horsetooth State Recreation Area dominates this landscape, reflecting the post-war development of Colorado's water infrastructure and recreational lands. The map illustrates the complex system of dams and canals, including the Soldier Canyon Dam and Dixon Canyon Dam, which transformed the dry valleys into a major reservoir system. Near the Cache La Poudre River in the northeast, the settlement of Laporte and the Laporte Cem provide a genealogical anchor for the area, while the Caches La Poudre Monument marks the local history of the region.
