Christmas tree, yes, exactly! But they're not all quite that elaborate.
Sometimes they look more like fire hydrants. And I guess that goes
against my claim of "no notable surface-level equipment" because lots of
people like to map fire hydrants.

The pumpjacks are what I know -- I'm no expert but it's a safe
assumption that there are other designs out there.
