1967 Map of Red Feather Lakes

About this map

Red Feather Lakes serves as the focal point of this mountainous landscape within the Roosevelt National Forest, where a complex network of small lakes and water management systems defines the local character. The presence of the Red Feather Supply Ditch and the Bellaire Ditch illustrates the early engineering required to sustain this high-altitude community. Faith and community life are anchored by the Chapel In the Pines and Our Lady of the Lakes Ch, while the surrounding terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Many Thunders Mountain and Mount Margaret. To the east, the Prairie Divide and ranching operations such as the Maxwell Ranch suggest a transition toward more open grazing lands. Numerous named water bodies, including Parvin Lake, Dowdy Lake, and Lady Moon Lake, highlight the area's development as a central recreation and conservation hub in Larimer County.
