About this map

Johnny Moore Mountain and Elk Mtn dominate the topography of this high-country landscape, where the Canadian River cuts through the western reaches of the Roosevelt National Forest. The map reveals a complex 21st-century water management system defined by numerous ditches including the Medicine Bow Ditch, Gillette Ditch Number 1, and Sudduth Ditch Number 1, which channel water across the high parks and draws.

Evidence of early livestock and transit history is preserved in the naming of Brown Park and Muddy Park, while a network of wilderness routes like the Medicine Bow Trail and Jack Dickens Trail cross the Larimer-Jackson County line. The small settlement of Kimmons appears at the southern edge, situated near the headwaters of the river. This survey captures a landscape where traditional grazing territory meets modern hydraulic engineering and protected forest lands.
