1952 Map of Anvil Points

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Roan Cliffs and the high Roan Plateau dominate this 1952 study of energy development in Garfield County. The landscape is defined by the heavy footprint of the Naval Oil Shale Reserve, where industrial activity is concentrated at the Bureau of Mines Oil Shale Experiment Station and the Anvil Points Oil Shale Mines. This facility, accompanied by a dedicated Tank Farm and Weather Station, highlights the federal government's mid-century efforts to secure domestic oil supplies through experimental shale extraction.
