1986 Map of Oilmont

About this map

Oilmont stands as a focal point of this industrial landscape in the mid-1980s, serving as a hub for the extensive Kevin Sunburst Oil Field. The terrain is defined by a dense network of pipelines, tank batteries, and well sites that sprawl across the northern Montana prairie. Notable topographical landmarks such as Raglan Butte and the broad expanse of Prairie Dell interrupt the geometric grid of access roads and section lines. The map also records essential infrastructure of the era, including a prominent Pumping Station and a localized Substation. The presence of several areas marked as Alkali Flat suggests the arid, alkaline nature of the basins here, contrasting with the intense extraction activities that dominate the physical geography of Toole County during this period of development.
