The extensive gas and oil fields surrounding the town fuel its economy. The population was 431 at the2000 census. The elevation is 6,594 feet. U.S. Highway 189 runs through on Main Street and State Highway 235 accesses the oil fields to the west. The nearby Fontenelle Reservoir is a popular recreational retreat.
