About this map

The Naval Oil Shale Reserve dominates this high-altitude landscape in Garfield County, showcasing the mid-century industrial focus on energy extraction. This survey reveals the infrastructure of the Bureau of Mines Oil Shale Experiment Station, including a Plant Farm, a Weather Station, and specialized Anvil Points Oil Shale Mines. The geography is defined by the sharp transition between the Roan Plateau and the dramatic Roan Cliffs, where numerous steep drainages like Third Water Gulch and Golden Castle Gulch carve into the escarpment.
