1960 Map of Gateway

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Dolores River cuts a deep, winding path through this corner of Mesa County, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape defined by massive mesas and extensive uranium mining activity. At the settlement of Gateway, the river meets Unaweep Canyon, while higher elevations like Tenderfoot Mesa and Outlaw Mesa are marked by a dense concentration of mining operations. The map provides a detailed look at the infrastructure of the mid-century mining boom, showing specialized worker housing at Calamity Camp and Climax Camp alongside numerous named shafts.
