About this map

The Little Thompson River and its North Fork wind through the mountain valleys of the Roosevelt National Forest, defining the rugged geography of this 2013 survey. The landscape is marked by a legacy of water engineering and ranching, evidenced by the presence of the Pole Hill Tunnel, Rattlesnake Tunnel, and Bald Mountain Tunnel which cut through the granite peaks. These subterranean structures connect the high-altitude hydrology with local basins like Pinewood Lake and South Side Reservoir.

Residential growth is concentrated in Pinewood Springs, while several named homesteads and agricultural operations such as Linger Ranch, Stevens Ranch, and the X Bar 7 Ranch remain prominent markers of the area's rural character. In the southeast corner, the small settlement of Noland sits near the Larimer and Boulder county line, where Stone Canyon and Beech Hill overlook the transition toward the plains. The map reveals a intricate network of mountain roads like N Saint Vrain Dr and Steamboat Valley Rd that provide access to these remote canyon communities.
