1994 Map of Paradox

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Paradox and Bedrock anchor this rugged landscape of the Paradox Valley, where the drainage of West Paradox Creek and Paradox Creek defies typical topography by flowing across the valley floor. The map documents an intensive history of extraction, particularly along the slopes of Nyswonger Mesa and Ray Mesa. Researchers can trace the locations of numerous industrial sites, including the Morning Glory Mine, Cashin Mine, and Custom Mine, alongside various unnamed Quarries and Prospects. In the south, the Dolores River carves a deep path through the terrain, flanked by the high elevations of Skein Mesa and Davis Mesa. Transportation in this era relied on a mix of unimproved roads and specialized routes like the Pack Trail, while a remote Landing Strip and a Gaging Sta reflect the modern infrastructure supporting this isolated mining and ranching district.
