Synopsis
Excerpt from Professor Silliman's Report Upon the Oil Property of the Philadelphia and California Petroleum Company of Philadelphia, Situated in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles Counties, California: To Which Are Added Extracts From the Field Notes Made on a Survey and Exploration for a Rail Road, in 1850 and 1857
This great territory is all Within the geological limits Where oil may be reasonably looked for and Where (which is much more to the point) it is found.
It falls Within the boundaries of the Cretaceous and Tertiary beds of the Coast Range, and is traversed or bounded by ranges of mountains and hills forming lines of disturbance or upheaval along Which, as I have elsewhere explained, the oil outcrops in California may, in most cases be reasonably looked for.
