About this map

The Livermore settlement serves as a central point in this Larimer County landscape, where the Red Feather Lakes Road cuts through a complex terrain of ridges and valleys. To the south, the Cache La Poudre River winds through the northern reaches of the Roosevelt National Forest, overlooked by the distinct Eagles Nest formation. The map documents a diverse mix of land use, from ranching at the Spring Hill Ranch to heavy industry at the Rex Quarry and Roberts Quarry.

Water management is a defining feature of the region, evidenced by the North Poudre Canal and Park Creek Lateral diverting water across the eastern flats. A particularly significant historical marker is the Folsom Point Discovery, noting an archaeological site of ancient human activity near Livermore. The transit corridor is further defined by the Colorado and Southern railroad line, which follows the natural break of Owl Canyon as it moves toward the plains.
