About this map

The Cache La Poudre River carves a deep path through the Roosevelt National Forest, defining the rugged corridor of the Larimer County high country in the early 1960s. This survey records a landscape transition where established landmarks like Kinikinik and Idylwilde served as seasonal anchors along the river road. Notable human footprints include the historic Home (Site) and the Arrowhead Lodge near the distinctive Profile Rock.

High-altitude navigation in the Mummy Range is charted through a network of established paths, including the Flowers Trail and the Dadd Gulch Trail. These routes connect numerous drainage systems such as Little Beaver Creek and Sevenmile Creek to the main river valley. The map documents technical infrastructure of the era, such as the Gaging Sta and a Footbridge, essential for monitoring and crossing the volatile mountain waters.
