1960 Map of Calamity Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Mining operations and remote seasonal settlements define this 1960 survey of the plateau country along the boundary of Mesa and Montrose Counties. The landscape is dominated by high mesas, including Calamity Mesa and Outlaw Mesa, which are incised by the deep drainage of Blue Creek. The density of industrial labels such as the Arrowhead Mines, Blue Creek Mines, and Calamity Mines indicates an era of intensive uranium and vanadium prospecting in the Colorado Plateau.
