1959 Map of Moab
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Moab sits at the heart of this mid-century landscape, a junction for river travel and desert commerce before the massive growth of modern recreation. The survey documents a critical era for the Paradox Valley and the Uncompahgre Plateau, highlighting the industrial significance of Uranium and Vanadium mining during the height of the Cold War boom. Small river outposts and mining centers like Uravan and Nucla are detailed alongside the remote tracks of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad.
