2019 Map of McCurdy Mountain

About this map

McCurdy Mtn and the granite formations of the Tarryall Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Pike National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage network where McCurdy Cr and Lost Cr navigate through deep depressions like Refrigerator Gulch. Further south, the waters of Tarryall Cr feed into the Bayou Salado Reservoir, a critical water management feature near the border of Park and Jefferson counties. The terrain is characterized by distinctive geological landmarks, including Harmonica Arch and the prominent Lizard Rock. Historical access routes are clearly marked, with the Brookside-McCurdy trail system and Hankins Pass providing the primary means of traversing these ridges. This survey illustrates the protected character of the wilderness, where high parks like McCurdy Park and Lake Park offer rare level ground amidst steep peaks like Bison Mtn and South Tarryall Peak.
