1962 Map of Rustic

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Manhattan (Site) and its neighboring prospect point to the early mining and ranching legacy along the northern reaches of the Roosevelt National Forest during the mid-twentieth century. The Cache La Poudre River serves as the central artery for this landscape, supporting small settlements like Rustic and Glen Echo while carving through steep terrain near Indian Meadows. Higher elevations are defined by peaks like Prohibition Mountain and the expansive Pingree Hill, where a network of primitive routes including the Manhattan Trail and Crown Point Road provided access to isolated homesteads and high-country parks like Wintersteen Park. Human activity is further evidenced by institutional landmarks such as the Elkhorn School and Lidderdale Canyon Chapel, alongside recreational sites like the Ben Delatour Scout Camp and the Bennett Creek Picnic Area. The map documents a period of transitioning land use, where established ranches like Rockwell Ranch existed alongside developing forest management and outdoor education facilities.
