Survey map of Baylor County, Texas, showing property lines, ownership, and plat numbers. Some creasing at the top edge. The map also includes towns, bodies of water, roads, railroads, and oil fields. A legend indicating drilling wells, gas wells, abandoned wells, and dry holes is included in the upper-right corner. Copyrighted in 1948, this map has a rubber stamp indicating that it was updated to August 11, 1952. Donley County is in North Texas, southwest of Wichita Falls. Heydrick Mapping Co. produced maps of the areas in Texas which had active oil drilling. Their logo at the top right supports this niche. Some counties were mapped by Heydrick as early as the 1870's, while others, like Donley County, were not mapped until oil was discovered. Heydrick's maps were produced in relatively small numbers and are quite scarce.
