Geocache Description:

Magnetic key holder

Tioga's nickname is the Oil Capital of North Dakota. On April 4, 1951, the Amerada Petroleum Corporation discovered oil on the Clarence Iverson farm South of Tioga. The oil came from the Nesson Anticline, a geological formation that is part of the Williston Basin. The discovery in 1951 set off an oil boom. The drilling peak was in 1966 with 27,000,000 barrels coming from 1,965 producing wells. Check out more info on www.tiogand.net. Watch for muggles.
