1952 Map of Anvil Points

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Naval Oil Shale Reserve dominates this 1952 topographic study, showcasing the strategic industrial development of the Roan Plateau during the early Cold War era. At the heart of the landscape is the Bureau of Mines Oil Shale Experiment Station, accompanied by a Tank Farm and the Anvil Points Oil Shale Mines. These facilities, carved into the dramatic verticality of the Roan Cliffs, illustrate the mid-century effort to extract fuel from the region's geological formations.
