Giant 1928 Monahans oil tank still worth its cost after one use
The Monahans News recalls a massive earthen oil storage tank east of town built in 1928 during Winkler County growth. It covered eight acres, held 1 084 000 barrels, cost over 250000, and was only used once before being leased to the city in 1953 for a planned recreation project that never materialized. Wayne Long tried nearby water wells to fill it as a lake but failed.
