About this map

Crocker Ranch and Meadowdale Ranch sit along the high-country drainage of the Little Thompson River during the early 1960s. This survey records a mountain landscape defined by deep gulches and rocky summits within the Roosevelt National Forest, including the prominent Mount Olympus and Mount Pisgah. Near the northern boundary, the Gaging Sta on the outskirts of Lake Estes monitors water flow as it descends from the peaks.

Southward, the terrain transitions into complex networks of springs and small lakes, such as Rainbow Lake, Mirror Lake, and Sunset Lake near Big Elk Meadows. The proximity of the Larimer and Boulder County line highlights the regional geography of the Front Range foothills, where early resource extraction is evidenced by a Gravel Pit and scattered Wells. This edition captures the area before modern residential expansion, preserving the location of family-named features like Lowdermilk Hill and Popes Hill.
