About this map

The United States Atomic Energy Commission collaborated on this 1940s survey, highlighting the industrial priority of the region's mineral wealth. A dense concentration of mining operations sits east of Paradox Valley, with named sites such as the Tramp No 2 Mine, Tripod Mine, and Coloradium Mine illustrating the post-war uranium and vanadium boom. These workings are clustered along Long Park Road, providing a clear record of the transportation network required to service the canyon country's remote extraction points.
