The district embraces the full range of historic activities along the Tarryall, including twenty-five historic livestock ranch headquarters and hay-raising and grazing areas associated with the area’s ranching history. Some ranches include historic archaeological sites and ruins. In addition, resources include two one-room schools, three old road segments, three cemeteries, two timber bridges, and buildings associated with the former mining community of Tarryall/Puma City. The area’s recreational history is reflected in two dude/guest ranches; a reservoir, dam, and buildings associated with early twentieth century fish hatching efforts and later recreation; two U.S. Forest Service campgrounds; and individual ranch cabins rented to visitors.
