About this map

Virginia Dale stands as a focal point in this high-altitude landscape where Larimer County meets the Wyoming border. The map documents a territory defined by historical transit and ranching, evidenced by the Overland Trail Stage Station Cemetery and sprawling holdings like Logan Ranch and Maxwell Ranch. Water management is central to the southern portion of the sheet, where the Halligan Dam impounds the North Fork Cache La Poudre River to form the Halligan Reservoir.

Several family and community burial sites, including the Boyd Family Cemetery and the Murchland Family Cemetery, provide significant genealogical value for researchers of early Colorado settlement. Religious life is represented by the Abbey of Saint Walburga and the Virginia Dale Community Church Cemetery. The terrain is marked by prominent landforms such as Table Mountain, Lovers Leap, and the heights of Red Mountain, all situated among a network of drainages including Dale Creek and Stonewall Creek.
