1983 Map of Nucla
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Nucla and the San Miguel River corridor anchor this western Colorado study, revealing a landscape deeply marked by mid-century mining and high-desert agriculture. The map documents the intricate network of claims and extractors that defined the region’s economy, including the Sunrise Mine, Morning Glory Mine, and Bald Eagle Mines. Settlement patterns follow the river valleys and irrigation sources, from the isolated ranching communities in the Paradox Valley to the specialized milling town of Uravan and the smaller clusters at Redvale and Slick Rock.
