About this map

Farnum Peak and the surrounding Pike National Forest define this high-altitude landscape in the mid-2010s. The area is characterized by a dense network of gulches and creeks, with the Tarryall Reservoir serving as a significant water feature in the northwest. To the east, the Tarryall Mountains rise sharply, while the Puma Hills occupy the central-western portion of the quadrangle.

Evidence of local history and backcountry access is found at the Farnum Cem near Graveyard Gulch, and along established routes like the Brookside-McCurdy Trail and Ute Creek Trail. The map reveals many family-named or descriptive landmarks, such as Schoolmarm Draw, Potato Gulch, and Packer Gulch, which reflect the ranching and mining heritage of the region. Open spaces like Webber Park and Burns Park provide breaks in the high-elevation terrain near Allen Cr.
