About this map

Colorado State University and several established high-country outposts define the character of this northern Colorado landscape. The South Fork Cache la Poudre River flows through the central terrain, bordered by historic family properties like Koenig Ranch, Sky Ranch, and Lazy D Ranch. This map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting outdoor research and recreation, from the Pingree Park Cemetery to the various managed campsites such as Fish Creek Campground and Tom Bennett Campground.

The southern portion of the sheet transitions into the protected wilderness of Rocky Mountain National Park, where the high-altitude hydrology is managed by structures like the Glacier Number 1 Dam. The topography is punctuated by prominent summits including Sugarloaf Mountain and Stormy Peaks, accessible via the Stormy Peaks Trailhead and Beaver Trailhead. The presence of several high lakes, including Lake Louise and Lake Dunraven, highlights the glaciated character of the Bulwark Ridge area.
