[ANONYMOUS][OKLAHOMA OIL] (Geology) Surveying oil field in Oklahoma 1927-28 for the Indian Territory
18 small snapshots mounted on three album leaves, together with two lose photos, with annotations identifying the subjects. Â
Early snapshots of the men and specially equipped automobile employed by the Indian Territory Illuminating Oil Company to find oil fields in Oklahoma.Â
Beginning in 1920 ITIO started leasing in the Seminole vicinity and by 1923 was a major oil operator in that area. Then Henry V. Foster became convinced that there was oil in the Oklahoma City area and began drilling at various locations there. His dogged persistence was rewarded with the Oklahoma City Field discovery well, brought in by ITIO on December 4, 1928.
