- Information
Gushers like the well in the center of the picture began to arrive in the Goose Creek oil field on a regular basis. Consecutive Augusts in 1916, 1917 and 1918 were punctuated by oil and gas wells blowing out of control. Tired of living in the middle of an oil field, residents of Gaillard Peninsula moved northward to areas that would later be called Pelly and Goose Creek.
