1950 Map of Hamm Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The United States Atomic Energy Commission collaborated on this 1950 topographic study, documenting a landscape defined by uranium prospecting and complex river drainage in San Miguel County. The topography is dominated by the deeply incised Dolores River, which winds through the Dolores Valley and passes landmarks like Cape Horn. This era of the Colorado Plateau is marked by high-altitude extraction, evidenced here by the Mexico Mines and Lookout Mine perched near the rim of Hamm Canyon.
