Dr. W D Hunter notes guayule grows in arid counties near El Paso and in Arizona, producing about seven percent of rubber for waterproofing and footwear, though extraction is costly and destructive to the plant.

Oklahoma Oil History Begins With Meager Daily Output
In 1844 Oklahoma saw its first wall drilled by Michael Cudaty of Oneha Nebraska. The shallow 1 120 foot strike yielded a small nonpaying show. By 1895 only 19 barrels were produced in all Oklahoma territory. The Glenn Pool discovery in 1904 sparked the oil boom transforming Tulsa into a 125000 population city and kicking off a rapid expansion of drilling and production across Garber and other fields.
