Note:
This is one of the best early maps of the Pennsylvania Oil Region. Streeter: "This is the only early map I know of which gives by name a large number of individual locations of oil properties..." This copy is somewhat different from Streeter's copy: it does not list Otto Krebs as lithographer. Outline color by region.
