In this Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2014 photo, Gordon Levang, 95, holds a photo of one of his family's longtime homes in Watford City, N.D. A retired farmer who now lives in that home in town, Levang says the population growth and development in the area has been astounding for a town that once had 1,500 residents and now has as many as 7,000 in the town and its outskirts. As a lifelong resident of the area, and even though there were two other booms in the region, he says he's never seen anything like this. He says oil has been found on his family's farm outside town in all three oil booms. (AP Photo/Martha Irvine)
