A propos de cet article

"This uncommon land claims map shows the lucky property owners of the Kettleman Hills Oil Field, straddling Kings and Fresno Counties in California. It is dated July 9, 1931, and was likely issued as a promotional effort by the Kettleman Hills Royalties Syndicate. A legend in the upper left shows the utilization of yellow, green, and red color, while a second key on the opposite side identifies the symbols for mining infrastructure. At the time of printing, the field (first tapped in 1927) was just a few years old and production was prolific, peaking at 29 million barrels in 1936. A previous example of the map was sold by Barry Ruderman, and included a related letter by the Kettleman Hills Royalties Syndicate. Sources: USGS; Barry Ruderman Rare Maps;" Sheet Width (in) 16.25 Sheet Height (in) 10.75 Condition Description "Creasing and light wear along old fold lines. Several tears and chips to the margin on the left side, and a 1.5" tear in the upper center (also confined to the margin) has been repaired on the verso with archival tape. Good to very good overall.".
