Teapot Rock, also known as Teapot Dome, is an unusual geological formation and nearby oil field in Wyoming. Its peculiar shape resembles a teapot, lending it its curious name and attracting visitors since its discovery. The Teapot Dome Oil Field, located about 6 miles east, was part of the Naval Petroleum Reserve Number Three, a program to ensure the U.S. Navy, which was converting to oil-fired boilers, would have sufficient fuel reserves in an emergency. Today, visitors can see Teapot Rock up close and marvel at its unique shape.
