1967 Map of Virginia Dale

About this map

Virginia Dale sits at the heart of this landscape along the historic Overland Trail, serving as a focal point for settlement near the Colorado-Wyoming border. The presence of the Overland Trail Stage Station and Virginia Dale Sch reflects the area's role as a vital corridor for western transit and local ranching life. The terrain is marked by dramatic features such as Lovers Leap and Table Mountain, with the Cache La Poudre River and Halligan Reservoir providing essential water resources in the southern reach. Local history is grounded in family-run operations like Logan Ranch and Maxwell Ranch, while the Virginia Dale Ch and nearby Cem indicate the established community structure of the late 1960s. The network of drainage, including Deadman Creek and Tenmile Creek, shapes the movement of cattle and travelers through the high plains and foothills.
