About this map

The Livermore (Old Site) serves as a primary historical anchor in this northern Larimer County landscape, situated where the North Fork Cache la Poudre River meets the local road network. The map reveals a complex drainage system defined by the various branches of Rabbit Creek, including the Middle Fork Rabbit Creek, South Fork Rabbit Creek, and North Fork Rabbit Creek.

To the south, the terrain rises toward Livermore Mtn within the boundaries of the Roosevelt National Forest. This 1960 field-checked survey documents a transitional era of ranching and early mountain recreation, as evidenced by the presence of the Livermore Cem and the route of Red Feather Lakes Road. The presence of an Aqueduct and a Spillway near Stonewall Creek indicates early water management infrastructure vital to this part of the Front Range.
