First wells drilled in 1883 showed promise but early failures led to major stock company development led by Major John Coon.

The crude is a dark green, waxy oil with 2 to 9 gravity. refining yields illuminating oil comparable to Pennsylvania but limited by crude usability. The field has about 27 producing wells of 200 drilled, and output is rising with potential refinery shifts to Pueblo.
