Teapot Dome
Midwest, Wyoming
Teapot Dome was the name of an oil field whose use was reserved for the U.S. Navy. In 1922 it was "leased" by U.S. President Warren Harding's Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall, to the Sinclair Oil Company, in exchange for a substantial bribe. Fall eventually went to prison, and Teapot Dome became one of the many scandals that later defined the Harding presidency.
There's no Harding memorial at Teapot Dome, but there is craggy Teapot Rock, for which the Dome is named, sticking up out of the otherwise unexciting Wyoming rangeland. In the 1920s it looked like a teapot, kind of, but the handle fell off of it in 1930 and the spout in 1962.
