About this map

The Cache La Poudre River cuts a central corridor through the northern Larimer County wilderness, serving as the primary anchor for local life in the early 1960s. Along its banks, the settlements of Kinikinik, Idylwilde, and the Arrowhead Lodge mark the sparse human footprint in this corner of the Roosevelt National Forest. The presence of the State Fish Hatchery and a Gaging Sta emphasizes the river's importance for resource management and research within the valley.

Steep elevations of the Mummy Range dominate the southern half of the sheet, where an intricate network of historical pack routes like the Zimmerman Trail and Roaring Fork Trail (Pack) provides access to higher peaks. These trails, along with the Mummy Pass Trail (Pack), trace the routes of early forest travel and resource exploration, leading toward landmarks such as Crown Point and the distinctive Profile Rock.
