Description

A detailed promotional oil lease map designed to display the grid-based layout of land sections available for oil exploration and leasing in southeastern Colorado. The map features township and range delineations, with numbered sections arranged in a checkerboard grid pattern, overlaid with annotations indicating oil interests and leaseholders.

The Panhandle Herald, based in Guymon, Oklahoma, served as both news outlet and promotional vehicle for regional economic expansion. It often collaborated with local surveyors, land agents, and oil companies to produce maps and advertisements that supported land sales, lease acquisitions, and oil exploration across the Oklahoma and Colorado panhandles.
