1961 Map of Turpin Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, Wyoming, as surveyed in the late 1950s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages, including the North Brush Creek, Harden Creek, and Cassidy Creek, which flow through the steep timbered slopes. Of particular interest to mining historians is the Golden Gate Prospect located in the southwestern quadrant near Cortez Creek, a remnant of the region's mineral exploration. The map illustrates the specialized land use of the era, where primitive Jeep Trails provide the primary access to remote high-country basins. Notable natural clearings such as Fish Creek Park and Cecil Park punctuate the forest, while the Turpin Reservoir and Moerke Lake serve as key water features in this drainage basin for the Missouri River system.
