Take a look at nothern Tuscaloosa County on Google Earth. What are all those small sites spread all over the wilderness? Windmills? Oil Wells?
outhouses and moonshine stills
Definitely oil wells. I can see the big rocker mechanism at several sites.
Interesting how they worked to achieve an even dispersal of the sites.

I don't think there are any oil wells there. There are methane gas wells.
We get our moonshine from north Georgia.
10-4, Steve. I just assumed that from the look of the machinery.

Interesting what you can find out on the net.

It's hydro-fracking.
"There are over four thousand coalbed methane wells in the Black Warrior River watershed. Tens of thousands of acres are leased to this practice, creating a massive network of roads and well pads...."
The Black Warrior Methane Corporation has over 400 of them, plus they acquired anothe 1,300 from Walter Black Warrior Basin, LLC.
There's also 30 miles of pipeline.
