Peaking through the trees, you can see Highway 60 in the distance. This highway is called the Devonian Way to commemorate the discovery of oil at Leduc #1 in 1947. The oil was discovered 1.6km below the surface in the Devonian Reef. This discovery started Alberta's oil boom and resulted in Canada moving from being a have-not country to have. In fact, the Town of Devon, also named after the discovery was built by Imperial Oil to house the workers.
