1949 Map of Egnar

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Uranium and vanadium mining activity characterizes this 1949 survey of the San Miguel and Dolores county line, a project conducted in cooperation with the United States Atomic Energy Commission. The settlement of Egnar serves as the local hub, supported by the Egnar School and the nearby Monticello Road. The landscape is heavily marked by small-scale mineral extraction, including the Legin Mines, Frankie Mine, Hawk Mine, and Golden Rod Mines. These operations are interspersed among the deep incisions of Bishop Canyon and Bush Canyon. High-altitude agriculture is evidenced by the curiously named The Spud Patch, while water security for livestock and miners in this arid environment relied on developed sources like Overall Spring, Strawberry Spring, and a lone Windmill. The eastern edge of the quadrangle transitions into the protected timberlands of the Uncompahgre National Forest.
