1950 Map of Anderson Mesa

About this map

The Dolores River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of Montrose and San Miguel Counties, defining a landscape of high plateaus and industrial activity. Surveyed at the dawn of the atomic era, this map highlights the region's mineral importance through the presence of Morning Star Mine, The Raven Mine, and the Gyp Mine. These sites, tucked into the complex topography near Silveys Pocket and The Hat, reflect the intense post-war search for uranium and vanadium coordinated by the United States Atomic Energy Commission.
