1960 Map of Red Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Dolores River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of Montrose and Mesa Counties, defining a landscape dominated by high plateau mesas and narrow canyons. During this era of post-war mineral exploration, the territory was heavily marked by mining activity, particularly along the canyon walls and mesa edges. Prospectors and mining companies established numerous claims here, including the Tulla Belle Mine, Golden Cycle Mine, and the Lucky Day Mine.
