oil well in April 1951.
SHSND #028-179
This successful oil well near Marmarth operated
in 1937. Though a few wells operated before the
opening of the Williston Basin at Tioga, they
did not have the long range success of the later
wells. Today the oil fields near Marmarth are busy
again. SHSND #2003-P-10-0003b
