Rare Books
"Tax Free City? Taxpayers $ Millions $ of oil and gas now being forever lost to drainage from 500 unused city drill sites strategically situated on 15 miles of filled channels (meandering dark green strips) and other city tide-land trust property, both filled and unfilled. Oil revenues would save 1000 tax dollars daily interest now paid by citizens on huge harbor debt." The green map is a blown up section of a USGS map of 1896. Red overlays shows the land filled sections in question, some now privately held and developed, from Terminal Island to west Long Beach. California statute gives the mineral rights to the City of all tideland and submerged lands. Today's Long Beach and Los Angeles Harbors have been filled well beyond these limits. Prime meridian: GM. Relief: no. Projection: Plane. Printing Process: Lithography.
