About this map

The Dolores River winds through the eastern edge of this landscape, carving deep relief near Sewemup Mesa and the Manti La Sal National Forest. This 1994 edition reveals a rugged terrain defined by significant elevation changes, particularly between Sinbad Ridge and the Paradox Valley floor. The map provides a detailed look at the region's mining heritage, marking numerous operations including the Barium Cycle Mine, Redbird Mine, and the Sunrise Mine.

Surface activity centers around the Pace Ranch and several specialized trails used for transit through the steep canyons, such as the Radium Trail and Paradox Trail. High points are meticulously noted by benchmarks like BM 7338 and BM 5138, while smaller details like a Grave in the north and a Corral near Carpenter Ridge offer specific targets for local history researchers and genealogists tracing land use in this part of Montrose County.
