About this map

The Dolores River cuts a deep, winding path through this corner of San Miguel County, a landscape defined by its strategic importance to the mid-century uranium and radium industries. This 1948 survey, conducted in cooperation with the United States Atomic Energy Commission, documents a highly active mining district. Concentrated activity is visible at the Veta Mad Mine and the series of numbered radium shafts, including Radium No 2 Mine and Radium No 7 Mine.
