1956 Map of Farnum Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Pike National Forest serves as the backdrop for this mid-century survey of the high country, dominated by the Tarryall Mountains and the elevation at Farnum Peak. The map documents the early infrastructure of the Tarryall Reservoir in the northwest, including the Spillway 8860 and nearby Tarryall Campground. The landscape is a network of named drainages like Graveyard Gulch, Packer Gulch, and Gooseberry Gulch, which cut through the high-altitude terrain toward Tarryall Creek. Settlement is sparse and primarily recreational or agricultural, represented by the Lazy River Ranch and open meadows at Burns Park and Webber Park. Traces of local history are preserved in names such as Schoolmarm Draw and Turner Gulch, while backcountry access is shown via the McCurdy Trail.
