About this map

The Sunburst and Kevin communities anchor this high-plains landscape in Toole County, where the industrial footprint of the energy sector is etched across the terrain. Extensive Oil Field developments and numerous Oil Wells define the local economy, supported by infrastructure like the Burlington Northern railroad and a network of pipelines. The presence of a Tank Farm (Abandoned) near Sunburst hints at the shifting cycles of the oil industry by the mid-1980s.

Water management and natural depressions characterize the geography, featuring several expanses of Lake Bed and an Alkali Flat. Agricultural activity is marked by Grain Bins, while local utility footprints are visible through features like the Sewage Lagoon and an Aqueduct near the southern edge of the survey. This map provides a technical view of the northern Montana oil patch, recording the intersection of rail transport and resource extraction.
