About this map

North Fork Cache la Poudre River winds through the high-elevation terrain of the Roosevelt National Forest, defining a landscape where ranching and early irrigation infrastructure meet. In the late 1960s, this area of the Front Range was a working forest, with Black Mtn Ranch and Painted Post Ranch serving as focal points for local activity. The geography is dominated by a series of high peaks, including North Bald Mountain, Middle Bald Mountain, and South Bald Mountain.

Resource management and recreation are evident through features like the North Fork Poudre Campground and the network of pack trails such as the North Lone Pine Trail. The presence of the Mitchell Ditch and Bellaire Ditch underscores the historical importance of water diversion in this high-country environment. A single Prospect site and the winding Deadman Road highlight the intersection of early extraction efforts and the primary transportation routes through the forest.
