1949 Map of Paradox

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The Paradox Valley floor and the surrounding high mesas dominate this 1940s landscape, reflecting the rugged isolation of Montrose County just before the regional uranium boom intensified. At the tiny settlements of Paradox and Bedrock, early agricultural efforts are evidenced by the intricate network of ditches feeding off West Paradox Creek. The topography transitions sharply from the valley floor to the massive elevations of Sinwadger Mesa and Wray Mesa, where a Stock Trail snakes through the high country.
