Wyoming: Richardson Charles O.ABAA

UINTA COUNTY WYOMING OIL FIELDS SPRING VALLEY DISTRICT

1903WRCAM55317N.p. but likely Chicago 1903. Two-color map on thin paper approximately 18 x 31 3/4 inches. Original folds. Slight separations at a few crossfolds few short closed marginal tears. Very good. An interesting promotional map produced by Chicago oil and real estate speculator Charles O. Richardson highlighting the oil- producing areas of Uinta County Wyoming at the dawn of the 20th century. Uinta County is located at the extreme southwestern corner of Wyoming on the border with Utah. At the time this map was produced crude oil was vitally important to both the Standard Oil Company and the Union Pacific Railroad - for the former to refine into gasoline and for the latter to lubricate locomotives. Both entities appear on the present map. The "Index" or key of the map references the first two wells of the Standard Oil Company other oil & gas wells the lands of the Standard Reserve Oil Company the lines for the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad red dashed line the Union Pacific Railroad Main Line solid red line and certain county and other roads. On the far right portion of the sheet is a large schematic cross-section showing "the stratifications of oil sand encountered" in drilling the Union Pacific Oil Well. Oil was known to exist in Wyoming long before the present map since at least the 1830s when Captain Bonneville found an oil spring near Dallas Dome. Uinta County was known to have oil near Hilliard when Fort Bridger was established nearby in 1842 both appear on the present map. Yet this map is one of the earliest depictions of the industry on a promotional piece produced when the railroad the automobile and the motorcycle created explosive demand for oil. Overall the present map is testament to the importance of southwestern Wyoming in the history of the oil industry. Wyoming still ranks in the top ten among oil-producing states in the U.S. A rare map with only four copies reported in OCLC at Yale SMU's DeGolyer Library the University of Utah and the University of Wyoming.
