About this map

Pinewood Springs and the eastern foothills of the Front Range are defined here by a network of water management and extraction. The North Fork Little Thompson River and the main Little Thompson River cut through the terrain, supported by infrastructure like the Pole Hill Tunnel, Pole Hill Canal, and Rattlesnake Tunnel. These engineering works, along with the South Side Dam and Rattlesnake Dam, illustrate the critical role of water diversion in this semi-arid landscape.

Mineral wealth and stone production are evident near the settlement of Noland, where various operations including the Colorado Rose Red Quarry, Jacobson and Lyons Quarry, and Redstone Quarry dot the valley. Local industry is further represented by several mines, such as the Rattlesnake Park Mine and Ohline Mine. Away from the industrial sites, established western legacies persist through named properties like Pinewood Ranch and X Bar 7 Ranch.
