2012 Map of Turpin Reservoir

About this map

Turpin Reservoir and its surrounding watershed define this high-country landscape in the southern Medicine Bow Mountains. The area is characterized by a complex network of forest access routes, including Forest Rd 100 and Forest Rd 201, which navigate a series of high-altitude clearings and meadows known locally as parks. Significant landmarks such as Fish Creek Park, Cecil Park, and Mullison Park appear as distinct openings within the timber. The drainage pattern is intricate, with headwaters for Turpin Cr, N Brush Cr, and Cassidy Cr flowing through the terrain. The presence of Murky Lake and numerous smaller water bodies north of the reservoir illustrates the saturated nature of these alpine basins during the early 21st century.
