Description

"Structure Contours of Seal Beach Oil Field," ca. 1920s. The map shows an area near the San Gabriel River with some tracts delineated and the names of leases and leasing companies, as well as numbered well sites. A portion of the area is in Orange County, but most in Los Angeles County, close to California State University, Long Beach and surrounding areas. With folds, heavy creasing, significant soiling, and edge wear, the condition is fair overall.
