USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Placerville and the narrow corridor of the San Miguel River anchor this mid-century look at San Miguel County. The landscape is defined by massive plateau formations, including Iron Springs Mesa, Specie Mesa, and Hastings Mesa, which are dissected by deep drainages like Leopard Canyon and Slaughterhouse Gulch. This survey, a joint effort involving the United States Atomic Energy Commission, reflects the region's geological significance during the post-war era.
