1960 Map of Paradox

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Paradox Valley is the center of this 1960s study, revealing the distinctive topography where the Dolores River cuts across the valley floor. The map highlights the small community of Paradox and the nearby Paradox Cem, alongside the settlement of Bedrock situated at the river's bend. This era represents a period of resource exploration in western Montrose County, evidenced by the Morning Glory Mine, an Oil Well, and a Gravel Pit. The landscape is dominated by the massive plateaus of Wronger Mesa and Skein Mesa, which rise sharply from the valley floor. These geological features are dissected by dramatic drainage systems like Wild Steer Canyon, showing the complex erosion patterns along the Utah State Line.
