Topographical maps from around the world, financial and administrative records, claims, reports, regulations, coal field evaluations, and title papers for properties are included. There is also a small amount of material on uranium mining. Some of these records (such as maps and memorandums) were created by other offices within the Union Oil Company of California but pertain to the business and operations of the Casper office.
