1954 Map of Mt Peale 1 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Utah Colorado State Line bisects this high-elevation landscape, where mining activity defines the industrial character of the mid-1950s. The region is heavily marked by uranium and vanadium extraction, with significant operations including the Vanadium Queen Mine, Hesperus Mine, and Black Hat Mine scattered across the rugged terrain of the Mantila Sal National Forest. Settlement is sparse, limited to the Pine Lodge Ranch and the locality of Wray, while the presence of a Landing Strip and numerous tunnels suggests the logistical challenges of operating in this isolated frontier.
