2022 Map of Rustic

About this map

Roosevelt National Forest surrounds the narrow corridor of the Cache la Poudre Wild and Scenic River, where small communities like Rustic and Glen Echo line the canyon floor. This landscape reflects a history of high-country ranching and mining, marked by the presence of Magnetite and Feldspar deposits on the southern slopes of Mineral Ridge. The map is particularly notable for its variety of burial sites and memorials, including the Manhattan Cem, the Great Stupa Cem, and the lone Edward Halliday Grave near the northern boundary. Diverse land uses are evident in the transition from wilderness areas like the Mummy Range to developed spots such as Indian Meadows. A network of historic routes, from the Upper Dadd Gulch Trl to the Flowers Trl, underscores the area's long-standing importance for both resource extraction and mountain passage.
