1961 Map of Tullis

About this map

Pullis stands as a primary named settlement marker in this high-elevation landscape within the Medicine Bow National Forest. The 1961 survey illustrates a complex watershed where Big Sandstone Creek and Little Sandstone Creek flow through deep drainages separated by the Sandstone Divide. Evidence of early resource exploration or livestock operations is found in the naming of Coal Gulch and Haystack Draw, while more treacherous terrain is reflected in the label for Hell Canyon. A network of a Jeep Trail and other simple trails provides the only access across Green Ridge and through the forested slopes. This map records the hydrological and geological layout of Carbon County before more modern development, emphasizing the importance of natural springs and creeks like Savery Creek to the region's character.
