The
best period map of the Warren oil district published at the time and
superior in its showing of oil wells and springs than those maps of
Colton, Root, Anthony & Co., Towsend & Dale and also the Beers,
Ellis & Soule regional atlas. Full color by township with warrant
numbers noted throughout and land ownership named though primarily along
the Allegheny River and tributaries. Nineteen oil wells and springs are
shown, several of which record company names, and are likely
representative of data compiled by Barnes and Russell in 1864. Dated
notary stamp of H.H. Shillingford, Phila., on pastedown and verso of map
indicating this copy was issued March 10th, 1865. R.L. Barnes
also issued in 1865, Oil District maps of Venango, Forest, Elk, Green and
Clarion Counties along with a General Map of the Oil Region. All are today
quite scarce.
