1956 Map of Mc Curdy Mountain

About this map

McCurdy Mountain dominates the high-elevation landscape of the Pike National Forest in this mid-century topographic survey. The area is defined by its complex drainage systems, including Lost Creek, Goose Creek, and McCurdy Creek, which carve through the granite heights of the Kenosha Mountains. While the terrain is largely primitive and protected within the Lost Creek Wilderness, signs of human activity are present in the southwestern corner near the Bearcat Mine and the Tarryall Creek corridor. Early recreational infrastructure is evident at the Spruce Grove Campground and Twin Eagles Picnic Area, while the Brookside-McCurdy Trail and Hankins Gulch Trail provide a look at the historic footpaths used to navigate through Hankins Pass and into McCurdy Park long before modern development reached these peaks.
