1954 Map of Mt Peale 3 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Uranium and vanadium mining activity centers this 1954 survey of Big Indian Valley, where several major operations are mapped in detail. The concentration of the Big Indian Mine, Small Fry Mine, Homestake Mine, and the San Juan Shaft Mine in the northeastern quadrant illustrates a landscape transformed by mid-century extraction. A Landing Field positioned near Big Indian Wash points to the logistical requirements of transporting personnel and equipment to this isolated high-desert mining district.
