About this map

Monarch Oil Field anchors the northeastern corner of this Fallon County landscape, highlighting the industrial footprint of petroleum extraction in eastern Montana during the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Pennel Creek in the north and the winding course of Sandstone Creek further south, which is joined by the South Fork Sandstone Creek and Timber Creek. This period captures the infrastructure of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad as it cuts diagonally across the prairie, supported by local landmarks like a Pumping Sta and a network of pipelines. The map provides a clear view of the ranching and resource-extraction patterns of the era, where section lines and fences intersect with natural watercourses and energy corridors.
