1981 Map of Baker NE

About this map

Monarch Oil Field and the Pennel Oil Field dominate the landscape of Fallon County, Montana, as they appeared in the early 1980s. This industrial footprint is characterized by a network of pipelines, gas wells, and oil wells that crisscross the prairie terrain around Antelope Butte. The southern portion of the map is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which runs parallel to Sandstone Creek. A single community landmark, the Bonnievale Cem, sits near a Substa in the southeast, providing a focal point for local genealogical interest. The natural drainage of the region is traced through the winding paths of Pennel Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which cut through the oil-producing lands of the northern Great Plains.
