About this map

The San Miguel River carves through the southwestern corner of this 1950 survey, marking the industrial importance of Uravan during the post-war uranium boom. This edition was produced in collaboration with the United States Atomic Energy Commission, reflecting the area's strategic significance for mineral extraction. The complex topography is defined by the Atkinson Breaks and the expansive Spring Mesa, where the Wright Mine stands as a primary landmark of the local mining economy.
