1992 Map of Turpin Reservoir

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in the Sierra Madre range, where the 1990s terrain is defined by a network of creeks and isolated mountain parks. The central engineering feature is the Turpin Reservoir, fed by Turpin Creek and several unnamed tributaries. This area serves as a critical watershed, with North Brush Creek, Deep Creek, and Cassidy Creek draining the timbered slopes. Evidence of historic resource extraction is visible at the Golden Gate Prospect near North Fork Mullison Creek. Navigation through the dense forest relies on seasonal routes like Cedar Pass Road and Richardson Road, which cross through open meadows such as Fish Creek Park and Cecil Park. The map provides a precise record of the road network and water management features just before the turn of the 21st century.
