1953 Map of Gray Head
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Mining and industrial operations along the San Miguel River characterize this 1953 topographic study of the San Miguel region. Small settlements and specialized work sites like Vanadium, Saw Pit, and Ilium are clustered along the river corridor and the Old Railroad Grade, reflecting the importance of transportation and mineral extraction in this corner of the Uncompahgre National Forest. The presence of the Belle Champion Mine near the river and a (Covered Flume) near Vance Junction points to the complex infrastructure required for high-altitude resource processing.
