1952 Map of Gateway

About this map

The Dolores River cuts through a landscape of deep canyons and high mesas in this survey produced in cooperation with the United States Atomic Energy Commission. The settlement of Gateway serves as the focal point near the river's bend, where a Gaging Sta monitors the waterway. The area's industrial importance during the mid-century uranium boom is evidenced by the Vanaking No 1 Mine and the Mammoth Mine located among the tributary canyons. Terrain features such as The Palisade and Bull Hill define the vertical relief, while the Uncompahgre National Forest (Pine Mountain) covers the eastern high ground. This map captures the remote character of the Colorado-Utah border region before modern development, documenting seasonal outposts like Tenderfoot Camp and the winding Pickett Trail.
