About this map

The Ragged Point Oil Field dominates this central Montana landscape, revealing an industrial footprint defined by extensive drilling and energy infrastructure in the early 1960s. Numerous Oil Wells and a central Pipeline network crisscross the terrain, supported by a Pumping Sta that indicates the active extraction era. The geography is characterized by a series of deep drainage channels known locally as coulees, including Seventynine Coulee and Keggy Coulee, which carve through the high plains toward larger watercourses.
