About this map

Industrial activity along the San Miguel River characterizes this high-altitude landscape during the early 1950s. The settlement of Vanadium and the Vance Junction rail point serve as focal points for the region's historical mining economy, including the Belle Champion Mine. The terrain is marked by expansive plateaus like Sunshine Mesa, Deep Creek Mesa, and Wilson Mesa, which are dissected by steep drainages including Summit Creek and Bilk Creek.
