1948 Map of Uravan

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Uranium and vanadium mining dominate this post-war landscape along the San Miguel River, where the Atomic Energy Commission collaborated on mapping the region's mineral-rich geology. The company town of Uravan sits at the confluence of the river and Hieroglyphic Canyon, serving as a focal point for the surrounding operations. The terrain is defined by dramatic mesas and deep canyons, including Long Mesa and Paradox Valley, which were heavily prospected during this era of atomic development.
