Entry 4 - Devlin Pointe Refinery

@v701, @RandyE, @Themistokles, @Robban040 and @Elenphor thank you for the likes.

Well everyone, here it is. The first heavy industrial area within Frontier City. The Devlin Pointe Refinery. Frontier City is located roughly halfway between two larger population centers: 200 miles east of Fljót Junction (Population 120,000) and 250 miles west of Svell City (Population 300,000). As such, the city is perfect location for a refinery servicing both cities. The Devlin Pointe refinery is the 3rd largest employer in town, employing nearly 2,500 residents with well paying jobs. The refinery is situated at the base of Mount Devlin, hence the refinery's name.

Entrance to the refinery with the tanker fueling depots in in the upper right. The gas station located next to the refinery sells the cheapest gas in town roughly $0.20 a gallon less than the next cheapest station due to its close proximity to the refinery. (It gets free gas deliveries) Lucky.

@Augwich thank you for the kind words.

@kschmidt that is unfortunately one of the downsides to city expansion, it really pushes the wildlife away. But still, I do like adding lots of trees to other areas to at least try and make up for it.
