folded oil exploration and geologic map of (then) French Morocco in 1952. In
French Morocco, petroleum explorations were carried out by Societe Cherifienne
Des Petroles (Sherifian Petroleum Company). The operated in about 21,000 square
kilometers in the Rharb and Prerif regions. This info was garnered from a
unclassified (on line) 1952 CIA report on oil exploration and exploitation in
French North Africa. The report goes on to say that geological and geophysical
surveys were being made in the Rharb and neighboring regions. I am assuming
that is where this map derives from. Again, this map unfolds to 32” x 51” and
remains in very good condition. Mild edge tears and light soiling to exposed
panels.
