"The Uravan mineral belt was defined by the U.S.
Geological Survey in 1952 as an elongated area in
southwestern Colorado where uranium-vanadium deposits in the
Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation "generally have
closer spacing, larger size, and higher grade than those in
adjacent areas and the region as a whole." William L.
Chenoweth, "The Uranium-Vanadium Deposits of the Uravan
Mineral Belt and Adjacent Area, Colorado and Utah," in New
Mexico Geological Society Guidebook, 32nd Field Conference,
Western Slope Colorado, (Grand Junction, 1981), 165. This
mineral belt includes the Gateway, Uravan, Bull canyon,
Gypsum Valley, and Slick Rock mining districts, all of which
are situated in southwestern Colorado, near the Utah border.
Calamity Mesa lies within the boundaries of the Gateway
district."

aus wikipedia

Uravan (a contraction of uranium/vanadium[2]) is a former uranium mining town[3] in western Montrose County, Colorado, United States, which still appears on some maps. The town was a company town established by U. S. Vanadium Corporation in 1936 to extract the rich vanadium ore in the region. As a byproduct of vanadium extraction, small amounts of uranium were also produced, at the time mostly used as a yellow pigment for ceramics.
