About this map

The Naval Oil Shale Reserve dominates this 1952 topographic study of the Roan Plateau, documenting a landscape defined by federal energy research and mining. The map captures the industrial footprint of the era, centered on the Bureau of Mines Oil Shale Experiment Station and the nearby Anvil Points Oil Shale Mines. A complex infrastructure of Pump Houses, Water Tanks, and a Tank Farm supports the extraction efforts along the plateau's edge.
