About this map

The Cache la Poudre River and its designated Wild and Scenic River corridor anchor this mountain landscape, which is largely contained within the Roosevelt National Forest. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the river valley at Glen Echo, Rustic, and Indian Meadows, where the Poudre Canyon Chapel Columbarium serves the local community. The map reveals a high density of commemorative and burial sites for a mountain region, including the Manhattan Cem, Fairkytes Cem, and the Great Stupa Cem.

Genealogists may find particular interest in specific burial markers like the Edward Halliday Grave or the Pickens Point Memorials. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes from the Mummy Range and Prohibition Mtn down through steep drainages such as Dadd Gulch and Crown Point Gulch. Historic routes like Deadman and Flowers suggest the traditional paths used to navigate the high parks, such as Salt Cabin Park and Wintersteen Park, before the modern expansion of forest roads.
