1925 Map of Parachute Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Naval Oil Shale Reserve dominates this high-altitude landscape in Western Colorado, where the deeply incised canyons of the Roan Plateau converge. At the time of this 1925 survey, industrial activity focused on early shale extraction, evidenced by the Columbia Shale Camp and Washington Shale Camp situated in the drainage basins. These remote camps and the Granlee School suggest a temporary but established community centered around resource exploration during the interwar period.
