1957 Map of Ambrosia Lake

About this map

Kermac Nuclear Fuels Processing Plant and the Phillips Petroleum Ambrosia Mill anchor the industrial landscape of this uranium-rich region during the late 1950s. The map details an intensive network of extractive operations, including the Homestake-Sapin Mine No 23 and Ann Lee Mine No 1, which supported the Cold War-era nuclear energy boom. These industrial sites are concentrated in the flats near Ambrosia Lake and a localized Trailer Park, while the surrounding terrain rises toward the high elevations of San Mateo Mesa and the Cibola National Forest.
