The various pipe lines between the fields and refineries are also shown. A few fields in south-central Oklahoma are included. Legend locates 15 various geological types in full coloring. Insets cover the panhandle and southernmost Texas. Not shown here is Kenedy county which was formed in 1921, but Hudspeth county formed in 1917 is located, suggesting circa 1918-20. The Amarillo Gas field, discovered in 1918 is shown but not oil fields which were discovered three years later. Verso contains 21 business advertisements, mostly in and around Amarillo.
