About this map

The Dolores River winds through this 1960 survey of San Miguel County, carving a dramatic serpentine path through a landscape defined by uranium and vanadium mining. This era was the height of the regional mining boom, evidenced by the dense cluster of claims such as the Joe Dandy Mine, Bachelor Mine, and the Peanut No 3 Mine scattered across Monogram Mesa and the Grassy Hills. Small residential hubs and camps supported the industry, including Bachelor Camp and the isolated Indian Henrys Cabin.
