The naval oil reserve under this sagebrush, named for the teapot-shaped rock on its edge, is what Interior Secretary Albert Fall secretly leased to an oilman friend for about $400,000 in bribes. Teapot Dome became the byword for government corruption for half a century, until Watergate took the title, and Fall became the first cabinet secretary imprisoned for conduct in office. The rock has lost its spout to erosion but still stands off Highway 259.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
