1963 Map of Mexican Hat

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The San Juan River carves a spectacular path through this high desert region, creating the dramatic entrenched meanders known as The Goosenecks. This 1963 field-checked survey, produced in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, highlights the industrial and geological character of southern San Juan County. Near the settlement of Mexican Hat, the presence of Tailings Ponds, an Aqueduct, and a Water Purification Plant reflects the era's mid-century mining and milling activities.
