What are the coordinates on this page?

Do I own minerals under a well near Vega?
A well nearby says nothing about who owns the minerals under it. The county's mineral roll lists who is paid on each producing lease. Search a name to see whether the Oldham County roll lists it.
Is drilling near Vega picking up or slowing down?
The state issued no drilling permit with a well location within 10 miles of Vega in the last two years. The nearest one is 12 miles north of town, issued January 9, 2025. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.
My checks from a lease here stopped. Why?
The usual reasons: the lease stopped producing, a new operator took it over, or the operator put the payments in suspense over a title or address question.
