1956 Map of Mc Curdy Mountain

About this map

The Tarryall Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in the mid-1950s, defining a high-country terrain where recreation and resource extraction met. Within the Pike National Forest, the map traces a network of drainage systems including Lost Creek, Mc Curdy Creek, and the winding Tarryall Creek. The prominence of Bison Peak and Mc Curdy Mountain creates a backdrop for Mc Curdy Park and Lake Park, while human activity is evidenced by the presence of the Bearcat Mines and primitive travel routes marked as Pack Trail. These trails link significant crossings like Hankins Pass and provide access to sites like Spruce Campground and Goose Creek Campground. The map also captures the Park Co Jefferson Co boundary as it cuts through the gulches and high peaks of the front range.
