Uranium, Vanadium prospect · Montrose County, Colorado
discovered 1954
Drawn as an open-pit mine, dug down in benches from the surface. The ore color stands for uranium, vanadium. Federal records note the kind of operation and its status, not its depth or layout, so this is a typical example rather than a survey of this site.
