1961 Map of Tullis

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this landscape in Carbon County, Wyoming, defined by the high elevations of Green Ridge and the Sandstone Divide. In the early 1960s, this area remained largely a wilderness of drainages and seasonal water sources, where Savery Creek and Big Sandstone Creek carve through the high country. The small settlement of Tullis sits along a network of primitive roads and jeep trails that provide access to the interior for livestock management or early resource exploration. Evidence of these activities appears in labels like Coal Gulch and the Gaging Sta on the western edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is deeply textured with steep drops into Hell Canyon and Hayrack Draw, while remote water sources such as Pop Springs served as vital landmarks in this high-desert forest environment.
