@brighamofutah: When a Texan geologist named Charlie Steen discovered a huge uranium deposit near Moab, Utah in 1952, he made a fortune and kickstarted the “Uranium Boom,” that brought thousands of people to the desert. Many of the backcountry dirt roads and other infrastructure in the American Southwest were built to facilitate this short-lived mad rush for radioactive riches, and some even left their stone cabins behind. #utah #uranium #coldwar #ruins #ghosttown #moabutah #moab #sanrafaelswell #capitolreefnationalpark #utahhistory #ushistory #goldrush #sunsetgrill #geology #geologyrocks #utahrocks #redrock #utahcheck #utahliving #utahlife #utahtiktok #beutahful #utahoutdoors #atomic #interestingfacts #1950s #prospecting #prospector #utahadventures #americanwest #southwest #history #historytok #historybuff #fyp
