About this map

Virginia Dale and the high northern reaches of the Colorado Front Range define this early 20th-century survey along the Colorado Wyoming Boundary Line. The landscape is a network of cattle and sheep ranching outposts, including the Warren Sheep Camp, Logan Road Ranch, and Springvale Ranch. Evidence of early commerce is scattered across the terrain at places like the Forks Hotel and the St Cloud P O.

Southward, the Cache la Poudre River cuts through the mountains, providing the lifeline for foothill settlements such as Laporte, Bellvue, and the burgeoning regional hub of Fort Collins. The presence of the Colorado and Southern R R and irrigation markers like Stove Prairie Landing reflect the transition from mountain wilderness to an organized agricultural and transport economy. Local education is noted at the Campbell Grove School, while the Empire Mine highlights the era's persistent search for mineral wealth.
