1957 Map of Monticello
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The high-altitude peaks of the Manti-La Sal National Forest dominate this mid-century survey, rising sharply to the west of Monticello. This San Juan County seat is depicted just before its uranium-boom era expansion, showing local infrastructure like the Baker Ranger Sta, a Substation, and the town Racetrack. Mining activity is evident in the Abajo Mountains, where the Gold Queen Mine and the Dream Mine Main Tunnel sit high above Gold Queen Basin. The landscape is a network of water management and livestock ranching, indicated by the Blue Mtn Ranch, the Gordon Reservoir, and various springs like Peters Spring and Taylor Spring. A series of canyons and points, including Montezuma Canyon and Dodge Point, define the drainage patterns where the highlands meet the plateau.
