It may seem difficult to believe, but there is a small oil and gas industry present in Monroe County.
Most of it is centered on the northern and western sections of the county.
I decided to investigate some of these fields one Saturday afternoon and I came up with the picture that accompanies this blog.
I also have attached a link to an old article from the Tecumseh Herald that describes some of the early wells in the West County area.
FYI, the well pictured is found near the intersection of Lenawee Rd. and Brewer Rd. in Dundee Township.
If you squint, you can almost get yourself to believe that you are in Texas.
