About this map

The small settlement of Egnar serves as the hub for this high-desert landscape during the late twentieth century, situated near the boundary of San Miguel Co and Dolores Co. The geography is defined by the Department of Energy Uranium Reserve, signaling the area's importance to the national nuclear energy industry. A heavy concentration of mining activity is visible across the terrain, with family or colorfully named sites like the Frankie Mine, Strawberry Roan Mine, and Moqui Jug Mine dotting the canyon rims.

Drainage systems such as Bishop Canyon and Chico Creek carve through the high ground between Summit Point and Bishop Point. While much of the land remains industrial or open range, the local community structure is anchored by essential services in town including a Post Office, Fire Station, and a local School. The presence of numerous prospects and named mines like the Legin Mines and Bessie Mine underscores a landscape defined by extractive wealth and rugged geography.
