About this map

The mountain communities of Allenspark, Raymond, and Jamestown anchor this 2016 survey of the Front Range foothills. Located within the Roosevelt National Forest, the landscape is defined by the convergence of the N Saint Vrain Cr, Middle Saint Vrain Cr, and S Saint Vrain Cr. These watercourses have long shaped the settlement patterns of Boulder County, with mountain roads like the Peak To Peak Scenic Byway and James Canyon Drive following the natural drainage paths.

Evidence of early rural life and industry remains scattered across the terrain, from the Bunce School near Peaceful Valley to the Emmit Mine north of Jamestown. Notable natural landmarks include the granite outcrops of The Ironclads and the high elevations of Taylor Mtn and Bald Mtn. To the east, the Button Rock Reservoir provides a significant water management feature in an area otherwise characterized by small mountain parks like Big Elk Park and Johnny Park.
