1961 Map of Turpin Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this 1960s topographic landscape, defined by a complex network of drainage basins and high-altitude parks. Central to the area is the Turpin Reservoir, which captures the flow of Turpin Creek before it joins North Brush Creek to the south. The terrain is marked by distinct meadows or "parks," including Cecil Park and Fish Creek Park, which provide clearings amidst the timbered slopes. Evidence of mineral exploration appears at the Golden Gate Prospect in the southwest corner of the sheet. Transportation is limited to a singular Jeep Trail winding through the northern sections, reflecting the remote nature of this Carbon County backcountry. The map provides a detailed view of the headwaters for several major streams, such as East Fork Pass Creek and Mullison Creek, illustrating the hydraulic importance of this forest land.
