About this map

The Wright Mine and its access via Wright Mine Road stand as prominent markers of industrial activity on this landscape, reflecting the mid-century uranium and vanadium boom in the San Miguel River valley. Located near the Mesa and Montrose County line, this terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and high plateaus, including Atkinson Mesa and Spring Creek Mesa. The involvement of the Atomic Energy Commission in this survey highlights the region's strategic importance during the early Cold War era.
