Geological map of Indiana, showing location of stone quarries and natural gas and oil areas. Plate from 19th Annual Report. "Wm. B. Burford, Lith., Indianapolis.". Geological maps could also be used to indicate location of oil and gas deposits, as seen by this late-19th-century example. This map of Indiana shows not only where coal and other industrial minerals are located, but also indicates sites of oil and natural gas basins and wells, and the pipeline systems in which to transport those resources. As was the case in West Virginia, oil and gas were first discovered in Indiana in the mid-19t
