About this map

Laporte and Bellvue serve as the primary gateways to the mountain front where the Cache la Poudre River emerges into the Colorado foothills. The 2022 landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems, including the Poudre Valley Canal, Charles Hansen Canal, and the Little Cache la Poudre Ditch, which redirect water across the terrain to support local agriculture. This hydrology is backdropped by the steep elevations of Bonner Peak and the southern reaches of the Roosevelt National Forest.

Tracing the path of the North Fork Cache la Poudre River, the map highlights the Seaman Reservoir tucked into the canyons west of the Hook and Moore Glade. Low-lying features like the Kellogg Airstrip and the waters of Curtis Lake contrast with the verticality of Goat Hill and Log Canyon. This modern survey documents the interface of historical water rights and the expanding residential footprints along N Overland Trl and W Co Rd 56.
