About this map

Jackpile Mine and several other significant uranium-related mining operations dominate this high-desert landscape in Cibola County. The map documents an industrial landscape defined by extractive history, featuring the Sohio Uranium Mine, Saint Anthony Mine, and the Sohio L-Bar Tailings Dam. These sites are concentrated between Gavilan Mesa and Mesa del Lobo, illustrating the intersection of mining infrastructure and traditional landforms.

Settlement patterns are represented by the communities of Moquino and Paguate, the latter situated near the confluence of the Rio Paguate and local drainage systems. Traditional travel routes like Indian Service Route 51 and the Moquino Llano Rd provide the primary access through this complex terrain of mesas and arroyos, including the prominent Arroyo del Valle. The presence of the Seboyeta Project and numerous shafts underscores the region's importance in 20th-century mineral production.
