About this map

The United States Atomic Energy Commission appears prominently in the margin of this survey, reflecting the era's focus on radioactive minerals. The terrain is dominated by the deeply incised canyons of the Dolores River, where specialized mining operations for radium and uranium dot the landscape. A significant concentration of industrial activity is clustered near Slick Rock, featuring the Veta Mad Mine, Middle Group Mines, and the Upper Group Mines.
