1949 Map of Joe Davis Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Dolores River carves a deep, winding path through this western Colorado landscape, which was surveyed in conjunction with the United States Atomic Energy Commission. This partnership reflects the mid-century uranium boom that transformed the region, evidenced by numerous named claims such as the Norma Jean Mine, Sarah Ellen Mine, and Uncle Sam Mine. These mining operations are clustered near the distinct summit of Joe Davis Hill and the remote Spud Patch Camp.
