2016 Map of South Bald Mountain

About this map

Red Feather Lakes sits at the eastern edge of a high-altitude landscape defined by the watershed of the N Fork Cache La Poudre River. This 2016 survey illustrates the complex water management system of the region, featuring high-country infrastructure like the Panhandle Reservoir, Mitchell Ditch, and Bellaire Ditch alongside natural features such as Lake Erie. The terrain is dominated by a series of prominent peaks, including N Bald Mtn, Mid Bald Mtn, and S Bald Mtn, all within the boundaries of the Roosevelt National Forest. This area serves as a transition between the established lakeside community and the dense network of forest service roads and trails like Deadman and the Killpecker Trail. Local history is anchored by the Black Mountain Ranch Cem and the Crystal Lakes Airport, showing the intersection of ranching heritage and modern mountain living.
