About this map

The settlement of Tarryall anchors the northern portion of this landscape, situated near the winding course of Tarryall Cr. Much of the terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Pike National Forest, where water management systems like Plume Ditch and Krebill Ditch indicate a history of redirecting natural flows through the rugged topography. Distinctive geological markers such as the China Wall and Pilot Peak dominate the skyline, while numerous family-named landmarks like Thorpe Gulch and O'Brien Gulch suggest a history of localized land use.

The network of drainage features, including Badger Gulch and Tappan Gulch, highlights the complex watershed that feeds into the broader basin. To the south, Round Mtn stands as a prominent topographical feature near the headwaters of Arkansas Gulch, marking a shift in the drainage patterns toward the southern reach of the quadrangle. This area reflects a quiet mountain territory where the intersection of water rights and public lands has shaped the modern character of the landscape.
