56801Washington D.C.: Department of the Interior United States Geological Survey and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Finance 1963. SECOND EDITION ENGLISH ISSUE. Large chromolithohraphed map 122 x 139 cm of the Arabian peninsula shown with topographic relief and marked with water pipelines oases oil fields oil pipelines ports and harbours oil wells natural gas fields quarries and mines. Key lower left. The map includes the territories of modern day Kuwait Qatar Bahrain United Arab Emirates Oman and Yemen and was the work of a team lead by the distinguished geologist Glen F. Brown whose pioneering work on surface geology with its emphasis on water resources minerals and oil pertains to this day. Minor light spotting lower right generally in excellent condition. Issued simultaneously in an English and Arabic versions. Originally conceived in 1953 this second edition shows significant additional topographical detail and noticeably showing the growth in oil fields and accompanying infrastructure. Brown 1911-2001 began his career conducting coal investigations in South China and the Philippines and ground water investigations in Mississippi and Colorado the latter mostly concerned with supplying water to military installations. In response to a request from Ibn Sa'ud for assistance from the United States Geological Survey USGS Brown was selected in 1944 to investigate water supplies in the Saudi Arabian desert. Brown "arrived in Saudi Arabia early in 1945 and joined a mission sponsored by the US Foreign Economic Administration to study possibilities for agricultural development in central Arabia. As part of the mission he carried out a detailed investigation of the geologic formations in the Al Kharj district and identified substantial ground-water resources in buried aquifers. His report on the results of that investigation was very enthusiastically received by Saudi officials. Brown returned to Saudi Arabia at the request of Ibn Saud to conduct reconnaissance geologic mapping mineral evaluation and water-resource studies in the western and central parts of the kingdom. The mapping was carried forward from 1950 to 1958 by Brown with USGS and Saudi associates and extended to the entire Arabian Peninsula in cooperation with the Arabian American Oil Company Aramco as well as to organizations and companies of other countries in the peninsula. This resulted in a remarkable series of bilingual geologic and geographic maps of Saudi Arabia at a scale of 1:500000 and a geologic and geographic map of the entire Arabian Peninsula at a scale of 1:2000000 all of which were published by the USGS. These maps together with reports on the geology mineral deposits and water resources prepared by Brown and his associates providing the basis for Saudi Arabia to undertake a major national resource exploration and development program" obituary Geological Society of America. The map includes the territories of modern day Kuwait Qatar Bahrain United Arab Emirates Oman and Yemen. Although the hunt for oil gas and minerals ultimately drove geological survey work across the region in its early years it was the need for continual water sources which was the catalyst for Saudi Arabia's resource exploration. In 1944 King 'Abd al-'Aziz approached the United States for a technical expert who could assist with the identification and plotting of the kingdom's natural resources particularly its groundwater reserves. Glen F. Brown who undertook the task and is responsible for this map was one of the pioneers of a partnership between the United States Geological Survey USGS and the government of Saudi Arabia. This collaboration was one of international importance spanning the next five decades and influencing the development of the kingdom significantly. By 1954 the Saudi Ministry of Finance United States Geological Survey USGS and Aramco were working together to produce the first full series of geographic and geologic maps of the country. The first of their type in the Peninsula were published between the late 1950s and early 1960s in both Arabic and English copies. The information these maps contained formed the basis of subsequent Saudi national development plans. To this day all modern maps of the kingdom trace their roots back to these publications.

19321450Various places mostly Texas Tennessee Kentucky and Virginia 1932. Overall good plus. Eighty-five typed and manuscript letters including thirty mimeographed copies of a form response. Moderate chipping and wear to a few letters most previously folded but otherwise in strong condition. A fascinating collection of correspondence relating to spurious Depression-era claims on the famed Beaumont estate of Pelham Humphries 1810-1835. In 1834 Humphries a colonist in the disputed lands along the US border with Mexico filed a claim for a league some 4428 acres of land to the west of the Neches River a few miles south of what is now Beaumont in Jefferson County Texas. The land a patchwork of swamp and grassland good only for grazing was deemed valueless until oil was discovered there in 1901 by which time it had become known as Spindletop and the area became the epicenter of the Texas oil boom. <br/><br/>No one made more money than William Perry Herring McFadden 1856-1935 a rancher who had bought Spindletop in 1883 but ownership of the land was in dispute when he made the purchase. Humphries had died in obscurity possibly killed in a gunfight or perhaps hanged for stealing horses and there was no clear transfer of title. The first suit over the Humphries Land Grant was filed in 1880. McFadden purchased the rights of both parties in the suit but later claimants argued that neither had had a legitimate interest. When geologists stuck oil hundreds of people discovered their fortunate genealogy as a story swiftly spread that the heirs to the Humphries estate were due a share in the profits from the great companies that extracted oil from Spindletop. Numerous lawsuits followed beginning shortly after the discovery and continuing through the 2010s some extending over decades and involving thousands of claimants.<br/><br/>After one such suit entitled Anderson v. Lucas was settled in 1906 the Humphries story appears to have been forgotten for several decades before it emerged again during the depths of the Great Depression. Humphries reportedly hailed originally from Tennessee and in October 1931 the Knoxville Journal reported that members of the Humphreys family were gathering in Madisonville Tennessee to discuss their options. In November another meeting was held in Knoxville drawing over 200 attendees. Responding to the growing number of inquiries sent to his office W. T. Blackmon the Jefferson County Clerk wrote to the Knoxville Journal to set the record straight - "the Humphreys have absolutely no chance of getting $40000000 worth of oil land" the Journal summarized. "And so far as he is concerned he had rather hear no more about it. . He informed the Journal that he had quit opening letters from the Tennessee Humphreys." But Blackmon's letter had no effect. The next day the paper ran a piece in which Oscar Humphrey a stringer for the Associated Press voiced his suspicion at the clerk's response and urged people to fight for their millions.<br/><br/>The documents present here constitute Blackmon's file of inquiries from various Humphries claimants and their representatives all dated 1931 to 1932. A defiant letter here from Oscar Humphrey encloses clippings from the Knoxville Journal and informs Blackmon that "You may rest assured that I am going to have these stories reproduced in other papers in several cities in Tennessee and Georgia." The bulk of the archive consists of over fifty letters containing requests and claims from eleven states including Tennessee Virginia Kentucky Louisiana and Texas as well as the District of Columbia suggest that Humphrey's threat was not an idle one. Some of the letters are a few typed lines and comprise simple requests for information while others are handwritten and run on for pages with elaborate descriptions of the supplicant's claims and genealogy. Also present are carbon copies of general Blackmon's response which he adapted as a mimeographed form letter as well as copies of two more personalized . To dissuade inquirers from further correspondence his form letter notes that a full abstract of the survey of claims to Spindletop would cost "about $2500.00." Additional material here suggests that this may have been side scam Blackmon had with Earl Singleton the proprietor of the Jefferson County Abstract Company. At any rate the fresh rounds of claims on Spindletop delineated here came to nothing and Blackmon gave up his duties as County Clerk and accepted a new position as tax assessor and collector for Jefferson County the pursuit of tax delinquents perhaps seeming a restful occupation by comparison.<br/><br/>An excellent collection of documents detailing one episode in the long saga concerning the rights to the Spindletop fortune. unknown books
