About this map

The Arkansas River carves a central path through this Fremont County landscape, dividing the high slopes of the San Isabel National Forest from the dramatic heights of Copper Mtn and Burned Timber Mtn. The unincorporated community of Howard serves as the primary hub, where local life is oriented around the river valley and its numerous tributaries such as Stout Cr and Cherry Cr.

Evidence of local history is found at the Howard Cem and the small settlement of Vallie to the southeast. The area is defined by its extensive drainage network, with deep incisions like Kerr Gulch and Alkali Gulch shaping the local geography. Recreational and working access to the forest is indicated by the Rainbow Trl and Point Barr Trl, while residential naming conventions like W Blarney Stone Rd and Leprechaun Ln suggest more modern subdivisions expanding within this traditional ranching and mountain terrain.
