Grand County's story begins long before the first white settlers entered the valley. The land holds ruins, artifacts, and remnants of many ancient peoples, including Ute, Navajo, Anasazi, and others. Spanish missionaries--who were seeking gold as much as souls--were followed by French fur traders into the mid-1800s, and the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848 brought the land to be known as Grand County into the Union. Soon, the valley was teeming with settlers. In 1880, the name "Moab" appeared in the US Postal Register; it was chosen by William Peirce, a businessman who became the town's first postmaster, and was a reference to the Biblical desert. In 1902, Moab, Utah, was officially incorporated. The coming railroads brought more settlers from around the world. Basque sheepherders, Chinese laborers, and African American cowboys joined followers of Brigham Young to become residents of the growing county. Towns like Thompson, Cisco, and Stateline sprang up along with fruitful orchards, and peaches from Moab were being served at restaurants in Paris.

On Polar Mesa in Grand County, Utah, a total of 37,904 feet was drilled by the Atomic Energy Commission in 1950 under contract AT(30-1)-761. The mesa was again drilled during the period June 1952 to February 1953, under contract AT(30-1)-1265, which totaled 49,838 feet. This report deals primarily with the most recent project. The principal uranium-vanadium-bearing unit of the Salt Wash sandstone is approximately 270 feet above the Entrada-Summerville contact. It is a massive yellow-brown sandstone ranging in thickness from 10 to 70 feet. A method of correlation involving the projection, parallel to the regional dip, of a constant thickness of sediments was an aid in exploration drilling.
