About This Item
Houston: L.L. Ridgway Co, 1929. About very good.. Blueline map printed on linen, 38.5 x 58.5 inches. Handcolored. Old folds. Some light scattered soiling and dampstaining in spots. Expansive map of the northern portion of Tyler County, Texas, which is located northeast of Houston near the Louisiana border. Ownership plots are individually delineated, noting both the owner and often the acreage. There are numerous manuscript notations in the north-central portion of the map, indicating oil leases and ownership changes over the years; the whole is color-coded with handcoloring, though no key is present. Tyler County is still a significant area for oil and gas production today. This copy belonged to Charles Laverne Decker (1898-1955), a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Decker was a native of Missouri who spent much of his time working oil in Texas. We find no record of this map in OCLC, and this is certainly a unique artifact, given that it has been annotated and colored by hand.
