An index at top lists all the oil and gas fields in the region with their corresponding location on the map. Published with "Compliments of H.J. McMullen" of Oil Royalty Properties. The map was compiled and produced by the Oil City Map Company, who produced a total of only seven maps. There are no examples located on OCLC and only one sold example from our April auction.
