1956 Map of Tarryall

About this map

Tarryall and the nearby settlement of Thorpe sit at the northern edge of this mid-century topographic study, which documents the complex drainage systems of the Pike National Forest. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Tarryall Creek, fed by a network of gulches including Redskin Creek and Badger Gulch. Local ranching and mining history is evident through features like the Landis Ranch, Warlings Ranch, and the St Joe Tunnel. A distinct mix of transportation methods is visible, from the established Lasalle Pass Road and Jeep Trail to the Badger Flats Airstrip. Unique geological notations for the Badger Mtn Belt and Round Mtn Belt indicate the specific mineralogical focus of the surveyors during the 1950s field checks.
