About this map

The Flat Lake Oil Field dominates the northern landscape of this prairie region where the borders of Montana, North Dakota, and Canada converge. Numerous drilling sites, including Oil Well 2204 and a Flowing Well, are scattered across the terrain, illustrating the significant petroleum industry activity of the early 1980s. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the town of Westby serves as a local hub, featuring an Athletic Field, a Cem, and a local Gravel Pit.

The area's physical geography is defined by a dense network of glacial potholes and larger water bodies such as Flat Lake, McCone Lake, and Round Lake. The Soo Line railroad cuts across the southern corner, providing a vital transportation link near the settlement of McElroy. This map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting both agriculture and energy extraction along the international boundary.
