This rare, oil map covers all of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas along with portions of New Mexico, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. It prominently shows oil fields, gas fields, and "oil indications" in red overprinting with large concentrations depicted in northeastern Oklahoma and southern Kansas. New oil developments are sprinkled all over the map and pipelines are also identified. Folds into cream-colored paper wrappers (4 x 9"). No auction records or dealer listings found in the last 30 years.

A nice example with one tiny split at a fold intersection and minor staining at top left where the map was glued to the rear wrapper. Light wear to paper wrappers. The light gray hue along the fold lines at top and bottom are caused by our scanner and not on the physical map.
