1956 Map of Mc Curdy Mountain

About this map

Tarryall Mountains dominate this 1956 mid-century topographical survey, showcasing the high-altitude wilderness of the Pike National Forest along the border of Park and Jefferson counties. The map captures a landscape defined by significant drainage systems and granite summits, including Bison Peak and Mc Curdy Mountain. Researchers will find evidence of early resource extraction at the Bearcat Mines, while recreational use is marked by several backcountry sites such as Mc Curdy Park, Lake Park, and the Spruce Campground near the base of the range.
