About this map

Gateway occupies a narrow junction of canyons where the Dolores River meets the drainages of the high mesa country. Produced during a period of intense mineral exploration in western Colorado, this map was published in cooperation with the United States Atomic Energy Commission, reflecting the area's significance for uranium and vanadium production. The rugged topography is defined by deep incisions like John Brown Canyon and Lumsden Canyon, while the soaring profile of The Palisade dominates the northern horizon.
