About this map

The Cache La Poudre River carves a central canyon through this portion of the Roosevelt National Forest, serving as the primary corridor for human activity in a landscape dominated by the high elevations of the Mummy Range. Along the riverbanks, small settlements and outposts like Kinikinik, Idylwilde, and Arrowhead Lodge mark the sparse development of the early 1960s. The map identifies the former location of Home (Site) near a Gaging Sta and a Footbridge, providing a specific point of reference for those studying the valley's settlement history.

Transportation through this mountain terrain is defined by primitive routes and early resource access. While the Dadd Gulch Road provides vehicle access in the east, much of the backcountry is reached via historic paths like the Routt Trail (Pack), Zimmerman Trail, and Flowers Trail. Local industry and conservation are noted at the State Fish Hatchery, while a solitary Grave near the river offers a quiet genealogical detail.
