About this map

Tarryall Reservoir and its associated Tarryall Dam anchor the northern landscape of this Park County survey, where the water is fed by a network of drainages including Packer Gulch and Potato Gulch. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Tarryall Mountains and the Puma Hills, which rise toward the central prominence of Farnum Peak.

Evidence of early settlement and land use is found along Tarryall Rd, which follows the path of Tarryall Creek. This corridor serves as a focal point for local history, containing the Farnum Cemetery and the Lazy River Ranch. Remote access is facilitated by numerous U.S. Forest Service routes, such as Forest Rd 144, while recreation is centered around the Tarryall Campground and the Ute Creek Trailhead. The map also preserves colorful local toponyms like Graveyard Gulch and Schoolmarm Draw.
