Oil Drilling Ventures Surge and Fail Near Red Cloud Nebraska
The Red Cloud drilling project began in June 1929 seeking oil with private funds, later financed by townspeople. By April 1931 the primary hole reached 3506 feet, with a fire, then abandonment, as funding lapsed. Nearby sites near Bassett, Mariaville, Grand Island and Central City saw mixed progress, with multiple wells reaching depths from 700 to 1715 feet before cessation.
