Original Post

Charbonneau oil field is a non-descript little field in McKenzie county, on the far west side, away from the sweet spots around Watford City. It's a rectangular field, twelve sections, 3 x 4; its western border is less than twelve (12) miles from the Montana state line. It's about five miles southwest of the curve in US 85 on the south side of Alexander.
