Scout tickets and the GIS map server are no longer being updated by the NDIC so it's hard to tell what's going on.

Of note, two file numbers have nearly identical names:

  • 35469, PNC, QEP, MHA 4-27-26H-150-92PNC; lat 47.783721; long -102.453862;

I assume there are others. I may check later. Graphics below. Two older, active, producing wells in immediate area:
