About this map

The San Miguel River and Dolores River carve through this Colorado landscape, revealing an era of intense resource extraction and early settlement. The map documents the carnotite mining boom, showing numerous mineral-related camps such as Julian Camp, Long Park Camp, and Thunderbolt Camp scattered across the mesas. The presence of the Cashin Mine and Cliffdweller Mine alongside the Pittsburgh Mill underscores the industrial activity that sustained local hubs like Naturita and Nucla.
