1927 Map of Parachute Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Naval Oil Shale Reserve dominates this 1920s landscape in Garfield and Rio Blanco counties, reflecting early federal interest in energy resources. The rugged terrain is defined by the deep incisions of Parachute Creek and its many tributaries, including Middle Fork and East Fork. Human presence is sparse but specific to the era's industrial and ranching efforts, marked by remote outposts like Columbia Shale Camp and Washington Shale Camp.
