About this map

Overland Trail history defines this high-elevation landscape along the Colorado-Wyoming border, where the historic Overland Trail Stage Station sits west of the settlement at Virginia Dale. The 1967 terrain is dominated by distinctive geologic formations like Table Mountain, Lovers Leap, and Red Mountain, with many local drainage systems including Deadman Creek and Lonetree Creek flowing toward the southern reservoir.

Social life in this ranching community is anchored by the Virginia Dale Ch, Virginia Dale Sch, and a local Cem. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of Prospects scattered near Sixmile Creek, while large landholdings such as Logah Ranch and Maxwell Ranch illustrate the late 1960s rural economy. The southern edge of the map features the Halligan Reservoir on the N Fk Cache La Poudre River, providing a focal point for the region's water management.
