2016 Map of McCurdy Mountain

About this map

The high ridges of the Tarryall Mountains dominate this 2016 survey along the boundary of Park and Jefferson counties. Characterized by significant elevation shifts, the terrain is defined by prominent summits such as McCurdy Mtn, Bison Mtn, and S Tarryall Peak. The area within the Pike National Forest is accessible only by an intricate network of footpaths, including the Brookside-McCurdy Trail and the Goose Creek Trail, which navigate through deep drainages like Refrigerator Gulch and Hankins Gulch. Unique geological landmarks such as Harmonica Arch and X Rock highlight the distinctive granite formations of the region. Water resources are primarily located in the lower elevations, where Hay Cr and Beaver Dam Cr eventually feed into the Bayou Salado Reservoir in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
