2016 Map of Howard

About this map

The Arkansas River carves a central path through this Fremont County landscape, defining the settlement patterns of Howard and Vallie. This 2016 survey illustrates the intersection of public lands and local history, with the San Isabel National Forest encroaching from the southwest and the Howard Cem marking a permanent site for local genealogy research. The terrain is marked by numerous drainages such as Badger Cr and Howard Cr, while peaks like Copper Mtn and Burned Timber Mtn loom over the valley floors. Recreation and access are detailed through mapped routes like the Rainbow Trail and Point Barr Trail, alongside a network of residential roads including Leprechaun Ln and E Blarney Stone Rd. This map documents a modern snapshot of a high-altitude river community, showing how infrastructure follows the natural corridors of the many gulches that feed into the Arkansas.
