Oil company maps – Africa – M-Z

This boldly-colored map of Uganda, Kenya, and Tanganyika was issued in 1957 by the local Standard-Vacuum subsidiary. Stanvac, as the company was known, was a equally-owned partnership between Standard of New Jersey and Socony Vacuum operating in Africa and Asia, and paired Jersey's production facilities with Socony's marketing operations in that region. Shown with Pegasus are a handful of wildlife creatures native to the eastern African territory covered by this map.

This 1959 Mobilgas map of South Africa was issued by the Vacuum Oil Company of South Africa, a subsidiary of Socony-Vacuum. This map, which is printed in English and Afrikaans, is part of a series with watercolor covers showing local scenes.

This map of South Africa was issued in 1963 after the Mobilgas brand name had been shortened, and after the somewhat archaic Socony-Vacuum corporate name had been supplanted by Mobil.
