What are the coordinates on this page?

Latitude and longitude of the well's surface location in NAD83, the coordinates map apps use.

Paste them into any map app. A horizontal well's bottom hole can be a mile or two away from its surface location.

Do I own minerals under a well near Bangs?

A relative owned minerals near Bangs and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 30 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Bangs. Search the family name first. If an account turns up, the title usually has to be moved to the heirs before the operator will pay them.
