Description
The map was produced by the Baird Commercial Club of Baird, Texas. Although Texas’s oil boom began with the discovery of Toil at Spindletop near Beaumont/Houston in 1901, this map was one of many that focused on the newly discovered west Texas oil fields discovered by the mid-1910s. This map was offered for sale to prospective investors during the “oil boom” rush in the late 1910s.
