    From this ridgeline viewpoint, hikers can spot a series of replica oil derricks tucked into the treeline across the valley. These reconstructions represent real 19th-century oil ventures like Great Lakes Petroleum and Ayers & Ashenhurst, a nod to the boomtown era that once defined this landscape. It’s a rare and fascinating blend of nature and history—quiet forested hills now reclaiming a place that helped ignite the world’s first oil rush.
