1952 Map of Anvil Points

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The industrial and scientific pursuit of energy dominates this 1952 topographic study of the Roan Cliffs. Much of the terrain is dedicated to the Naval Oil Shale Reserve, featuring the Bureau of Mines Oil Shale Experiment Station and a corresponding Tank Farm. These facilities, alongside the Anvil Points Oil Shale Mines, represent a mid-century effort to unlock petroleum from the local stone. The landscape is characterized by deep drainage systems like East Fork Parachute Creek and Yellowjacket Creek that carve through the high plateau.
