About this map

Pinewood Springs and the nearby community of Noland define the residential character of this mountain landscape along the Larimer and Boulder County line. The area is defined by a complex network of water management features, including the Pole Hill Tunnel, Rattlesnake Tunnel, and the Pole Hill Canal, which move water through the high-elevation terrain to Pinewood Lake and the South Side Reservoir. These engineering works cut through the Roosevelt National Forest, navigating around prominent peaks like Moose Mtn and Blue Mtn.

Lower-elevation landmarks such as Little Elk Park and Drummer Flat offer a look at the open spaces preserved between steep gulches like Muggins Gulch and Hell Canyon. For those studying the rural development of the Front Range, the map traces numerous forest and local roads including Stagecoach Trl and Blue Mountain Rd, which provide access to family-named landmarks like Rowell Hill and Button Rock.
