2013 Map of South Bald Mountain

About this map

Roosevelt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, centered on the prominent trio of North Bald Mountain, Middle Bald Mountain, and South Bald Mountain. The area is defined by a network of ranching and recreational sites, including the Black Mountain Ranch and its associated Black Mtn Ranch Cem. Water management is evident through the presence of the Mitchell Ditch and Bellaire Ditch, which redirect the flow of the North Fork Cache La Poudre River and other drainage systems like Elkhorn Creek and Killpecker Creek. A significant network of unpaved forest roads and trails, such as Deadman Rd and the Pearl Creek Trail 950, provides access to the North Fork Poudre Campground and the Lone Tree Ranch Airport. The residential pockets of Painted Post Ranch and various named drives suggest a blend of working ranch lands and more recent high-country settlement during the early 21st century.
