About this map

Tarryall Reservoir and the winding course of Tarryall Creek anchor this high-altitude landscape in the Pike National Forest. The 1950s terrain is defined by the elevation gains between the Puma Hills and the Tarryall Mountains, culminating at the prominent Farnum Peak. Human presence is sparse but specific, marked by the Lazy River Ranch and the small settlement at Rock Point near the reservoir's edge.

Drainage patterns are intricate throughout the quadrangle, with numerous named gulches such as Graveyard Gulch and Gooseberry Gulch feeding the local waterways. Evidence of early recreation and transit is visible through the Tarryall Campground and the McCurdy Trail, while the inclusion of a Cem label and names like Webber Park provide essential clues for genealogists and local historians tracking early ranching families and land use in this part of Park County.
