1962 Map of Poudre Park

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Cache La Poudre River cuts a sharp east-west path through the center of this terrain, serving as the primary corridor for movement and settlement within the Roosevelt National Forest. Small mountain outposts like Mishawaka and Poudre Park sit right along the riverbanks, where the valley floor provides enough level ground for buildings. This 1962 field-checked data shows a landscape transitioning between early twentieth-century resource extraction and growing recreational use. The presence of the Brinkhoff Mine Trail and the Stratton Park Sch point to a history of permanent mountain living and industry, while the Ansel Watrous Campground and systems like the Greyrock Trail near Greyrock Mountain suggest the area's shifting role toward forestry and leisure. Numerous gulches, including Hewlett Gulch and Young Gulch, drain the high ridges of Mount Ethel into the main river canyon.
