1960 Map of Horse Range Mesa

About this map

The Dolores River winds through deep canyons in this 1960 survey of San Miguel County, revealing a landscape defined by postwar mineral extraction. The small settlement of Slick Rock serves as the focal point for an extensive network of mining operations, including the Lower Group Mines, Middle Group Mines, and Upper Group Mines. These sites, along with the Radium Group Mines and Talbert Mines, point to the intensive uranium and vanadium prospecting that characterized this corner of the Colorado Plateau during the mid-20th century.
