1953 Map of Gray Head

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

San Miguel River canyon defines the topography of this early 1950s survey, showing a landscape shaped by mining and mountainous terrain. Small settlements like Saw Pit, Vanadium, and Ilium line the river valley and rail corridor, reflecting the area's industrial history. While the map notes that all mining features were inactive at the time of the field check, the presence of the Belle Champion Mine and the Old Railroad Grade provides clear evidence of the extractive economy that once dominated these slopes.
