1950 Map of Calamity Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Calamity Camp and Outlaw Camp serve as primary human markers in this high-altitude landscape of the Uncompahgre National Forest during the late 1940s. The terrain is defined by a series of massive flat-topped formations, including Calamity Mesa, Outlaw Mesa, and Blue Mesa, which are separated by deep drainages like Blue Creek and Dark Canyon Creek. A notable collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey and the United States Atomic Energy Commission highlights the era's focus on mineral exploration in this region.
