About this map

The Naval Oil Shale Reserve dominates this 1970s landscape in Garfield County, reflecting a period of intense focus on domestic energy development and industrial extraction. Centered on the rugged high-country drainages of Parachute Creek and its many forks, the map documents an extensive network of infrastructure, including an Oil Shale Plant and numerous Drill Hole locations. This industrial activity is superimposed on a landscape defined by sharp topographical features and family-named landmarks like Lindauer Point, Glover Point, and Schoolhouse Point.
