Open Plaques is quite smart. When a few plaques have been geolocated it will use the average to define where this area is.

If you would like to see the map a bit sooner then you could help us.

Just find 'Immokalee, United States' on Google Maps and tell us the .

We will extract the geolocation. Probably.

Sunniland oil field. The first commercial oil well in Florida, located just east of this site, was drilled in 1943 by Humble Oil and Refining Company. The discovery of oil at a depth of over 11,500 feet proved that there was oil in Florida. Seventeen wells were subsequently drilled near here. Sunniland was the state's only commercial oil field until 1964 although there had been extensive drilling since 1900. A vision of Barron Gift Collier was thus fulfilled.
