About this map

The Dolores River carves through the high desert of Mesa County in this 1950 publication, which reflects a landscape defined by both its natural geology and early Cold War mineral exploration. The United States Atomic Energy Commission co-published this survey, highlighting the era's focus on the region's uranium and vanadium potential. Features like the Depression Mines and Maverick Mines on Flat Top Mesa, along with the Copper Rivet Mine near Salt Creek, mark the industrial footprint on the land.
