Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Petroleum Withdrawals and Restorations, Affecting the Public Domain
April 15, 1915. These facts as to land titles have been compiled and platted from Land Office records by Mr. J. H. G. Wolf, of the Bureau of Mines. They have not been verified by the Geological Survey or by the General Land Office, and although the Survey welcomes the opportunity to add to the usefulness of this publication by including them, it assumes no responsibility for their correctness. It was originally intended to distinguish the departmental withdrawal of September 27, 1909, from the subsequent withdrawals, but as the United States Supreme Court has recently removed all doubt as to the validity of this order there is no necessity for the distinction, and the map is more easily read without it.
It is hoped that this bulletin may furnish an answer to any of the usual questions regarding Government action on the public oil lands. If the exact terms of some particular order are desired the order may be easily found from the ample briefing in the table of contents. If the withdrawal history of a township is sought it will be found in the township index. If the present status of a particular tract is wanted the maps in the pocket will show it accurately unless the tract is too small to read from the scale used, in which case its status can be ascertained by use of the township index and the orders to which the index refers.
