About this map

Pinewood Springs and Little Elk Park occupy a complex landscape of canyon-riven uplands within the Roosevelt National Forest. The 2022 topography reveals a sophisticated network of water management infrastructure, including the Pole Hill Tunnel, Rattlesnake Tunnel, and the Bald Mountain Tunnel, which pierce the ridges of the Front Range. These engineering works intersect with the natural drainage of the N Fork Little Thompson River and the Little Thompson River.

The settlement at Noland sits at the eastern edge of the quadrangle, where the terrain begins to transition near Stone Canyon. Numerous named peaks and flats, such as Moose Mtn, Round Mtn, and Drummer Flat, provide specific landmarks for those tracing the geographic history of Larimer County. The map also details numerous gulches and hollows, from Hell Canyon to Maure Hollow, that have long dictated the placement of roads and trails in this part of the Rockies.
