USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Naval Oil Shale Reserve dominates this high-altitude landscape of western Colorado, reflecting the strategic energy priorities of the mid-20th century. High above the D & R G W railroad line, the Roan Plateau is deeply incised by drainages like Third Water Gulch and Yellowjacket Creek. This 1952 field survey provides a detailed look at the industrial infrastructure of the era, specifically the Anvil Points Oil Shale Mines and the associated Bureau of Mines Oil Shale Experiment Station.
