"Oil Map of Oklahoma and Texas [on verso] Texas and Oklahoma", Geographical Publishing Co.

This large and very colorful oil field pocket map covers the entire state to include all of the panhandle, with the western portion in a large inset. It was published by the Geographical Publishing Company and names all oil fields, the course of early oil pipelines, counties and watershed. Bold color and line identifies seventeen different geological strata. The map represents a remarkable and scarce record of the state of the oil industry just after the close of WWI.

On the verso is Premier Series Texas And Oklahoma and uses green overprinting to show early "Automobile Roads" in the state. There is remarkable detail throughout including towns, trails, counties, watershed, railroads, and Congressional districts which are delineated by bold red overprinted lines. Folds loose into paper wrappers.
