About this map

The Cache La Poudre River carves a deep valley through the northern Mummy Range, serving as the primary corridor for movement and settlement during this early 1960s survey. Within the Roosevelt National Forest, small mountain communities like Kinikinik and Idylwilde cling to the riverbanks, alongside industrial and recreational landmarks such as the State Fish Hatchery and Arrowhead Lodge. A single Grave and the Home (Site) near a Gaging Sta provide evidence of earlier habitation and family history in this high-altitude landscape.

Transportation is defined by a network of specialized routes, including the Roaring Creek Trail (Pack) and the Flowers (Pack) Trail, which navigate the steep drainages of Peterson Gulch and Black Hollow. These pack trails connect the valley floor to prominent peaks like Crown Point, revealing how the terrain dictated the limits of motorized travel. Distinctive geological features like Profile Rock and numerous seasonal creeks, such as Sevenmile Creek and Beaver Creek, emphasize the water-driven geography of this Larimer County wilderness.
