1963 Map of Mexican Hat

Evidence of mid-century industrial activity is visible near the settlement of Mexican Hat, including a water purification plant, tailings ponds, and several drill holes—details that reflect the uranium and resource exploration era of the 1950s and 60s. Local history is grounded in landmarks like the Raplees Stone House ruins and geographic icons such as Alhambra Rock and the Tabernacle. The map also captures essential infrastructure of the time, from the Mexican Hat Post Office to the remote landing strip and gaging station along the river.
