1981 Map of Scole School

About this map

Little Beaver East Oil Field dominates the landscape of this 1981 survey, illustrating a region defined by energy extraction along the border of Montana and North Dakota. The map captures an intricate network of Oil Wells and Gas Wells scattered across the high plains, particularly within the Fallon and Bowman County line area. In this remote expanse, infrastructure for industry and basic services is sparse, highlighted by the presence of a lone Landing Strip and the Scole Sch. Water features such as Big Gumbo Creek and Soda Creek provide the primary geographic relief against the dense concentration of energy-related labels. This document serves as a precise record of the physical footprint of the Northern Great Plains energy boom during the early 1980s.
