2010 Map of Uravan

About this map

Uravan sits at the northern edge of this high-desert canyon landscape, where the San Miguel River carves through the red rock formations. This 2010 map documents a terrain heavily shaped by historical mineral extraction, featuring a dense network of mining claims concentrated along Sawtooth Ridge and Long Park. Names like the South Blackfoot Mine, Yellow Spot Mine, and Virgin Mine testify to the area's uranium and vanadium mining legacy. The complex topography spans from the flat expanses of Paradox Valley in the south to the heights of Long Mesa. Remote access is provided by a series of primitive routes such as Long Park Rd and AA 18 Rd, which navigate the steep drop-offs into Hieroglyphic Canyon and Box Canyon.
