1954 Map of Polar Mesa
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Dolores River cuts through the northeast corner of this high-plateau landscape, where the sheer uplift of Polar Mesa and Beaver Mesa dominates the central terrain. This 1954 survey, completed with cooperation from the Atomic Energy Commission, illustrates the infrastructure of the mid-century uranium and vanadium boom. Remote prospect markers and a Grain Storage Tank near Beaver Mesa point to active mining and resource extraction within the Manti-La Sal National Forest.
