'Gulf Oil'
This 1930s map, designed by groundbreaking cartographer Richard Edes Harrison for Fortune, illustrates Gulf Oil’s extensive operating footprint. Gulf was one the original "Seven Sisters" Supermajor oil companies which dominated the global oil industry until the 1970s, and was one of the 10 largest U.S. manufacturing businesses between the 1940s and 1970s. The map traces Gulf’s expansion from its origins at the Lucas Gusher at Spindletop, Texas, to its network of oil fields, refineries, terminals, and pipelines from Texas and Oklahoma up through the southern United States to Pittsburgh and New York. An inset of coastal Venezuela highlights Gulf’s South American concessions, and those of its competitors. In the United States, competitor pipelines are also mapped, providing a snapshot of the oil extraction and supply infrastructure of the United States at the time of publication.
