Slope County Permits

Note: Slope County is in southwestern North Dakota. Historically there has been very little activity in this county with the exception of the far southwestern corner of the county. The Cedar Hills field extends up from Bowman County; that's where all the Red River activity is located in this area, along the Montana-North Dakota state line.

The interest in the Tyler is at the far northeastern corner of Slope County, north and east of Amidon, the county seat. By the way, a new county courthouse is being built in Amidon; it should be completed this summer. WDAY reported:

A southwestern North Dakota county that has the distinction of being in one of the least populated counties in the country is building a new $4 million courthouse.

Slope County has about 760 residents and 30 of them live in the county seat of Amidon.

I made the mistake of not taking some photographs when I drove through Amidon (twice) on my most recent trip back to the Bakken.
