About this map

The eastern edge of Estes Park and the rugged watershed of the Little Thompson River anchor this 2011 survey of the Front Range foothills. To the north, the industrial history of the region is evident at the Mount Olympus Mine and Greeno Mines, situated near the peaks of Mount Olympus and Mount Pisgah. The landscape is a network of named gulches and ridges, including the prominent Panorama Peak and the geological formation known as The Notch.

Settlement patterns concentrate around the established recreation area of Stanley Park and the residential community of Big Elk Meadows to the south. This latter area is defined by a cluster of small water bodies such as Mirror Lake, Rainbow Lake, and Sunset Lake. Infrastructure for water and transport is marked by the Pole Hill Tunnel and the Lion Gulch Trailhead, providing a detailed look at how modern land use and historical mining sites coexist in the Larimer County terrain.
