2019 Map of Tarryall

About this map

Tarryall is the primary settlement on this map, serving as a historic anchor within the eastern reaches of the Pike National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network and high-elevation terrain, featuring the dramatic China Wall and prominent summits like Pilot Peak and Tappan Mtn. The hydrology of the area is centered around Tarryall Cr, which is fed by numerous named drainages including Thorpe Gulch, Marksbury Gulch, and O'Brien Gulch. Researchers can trace the early 21st-century rural road network as it follows the natural contours of the land, connecting landmarks such as Badger Spring and Round Mtn. This survey captures a region where the legacy of early ranching or mining is reflected in the many family-named gulches and draws that cross the public land boundaries.
