About this map

Industrial energy production and agricultural land use define this 1980s landscape in Toole County. The small settlement of Kevin is situated at the northern edge, bordered by Goedertz Lake and an extensive Lake Bed. The region is dominated by multiple energy extraction zones, including the Kevin Sunburst Oil Field and the Kevin Gas and Oil Field, which are crisscrossed by a network of pipelines and storage facilities.

Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the Burlington Northern railroad, which runs north-south through the western portion of the map. Away from the concentrated oil works, the land transitions to more rural utility at Potter Ranch near Potter Coulee, where features like Grain Bins and scattered Gravel Pits indicate a reliance on the local terrain for both construction materials and farming operations.
