Magic Maps -- Map Any Well in the Bakken -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

A huge thanks to "bettyg" who posted this elsewhere.  Because that discussion group has a rule that no one (except Dufus) can post websites, blogs, or URLS, you have to do a bit of searching to find the mapping site that is referenced.

But it is well worth your while.

The mapping site is "Magic Maps." It looks very, very easy to use. It will be THE app to use in the Bakken, and I assume that at some point in the future, it will be a fee-based app; and/or a subscription on the website. But until then, enjoy it.

Interestingly enough, when you map a rig or a well, it also provides the longitude/latitude which is terrific.

    Bruce,

    In case you or your readers were unaware, using the Google Earth program, you can type in the Latitude/Longitude coordinates and get an exact location of a well...zoom in and look around.
    I use it to look at the earthquakes around here...e.g. I found an epicenter a block away from my home, that occured in 1957...right smack in the middle of what is now a driveway.
