About this map

Tarryall stands as the primary namesake for this 2011 survey of the high-altitude landscape of Park County, where the transition between working ranches and intensive mineral extraction is clearly defined. The terrain is marked by a legacy of prospecting, with numerous sites such as the Wheel of Fortune Mine and the Saint Joe Tunnel dotting the drainages of Tarryall Creek. These claims, including the Redskin Claims Mine and Hill Top Claims Mine, illustrate a deep history of geological exploration among the peaks and gulches.

Transportation through this high country relies on a network of forest roads and county routes, including Tarryall Rd and La Salle Pass Rd, which provide access to remote outposts like Landis Ranch and Warlings Ranch. The presence of the Badger Flats Airstrip suggests the logistical challenges and modern adaptations required for this isolated mountain environment, while landmarks like the China Wall and Pilot Peak anchor the visual geography of the quadrangle.
