Bloodgood "was an American illustrator, map maker, and cartoonist active in the middle part of the 20th century. Born in California, he relocated to Sedona, Arizona, in 1960. Bloodgood produced a large corpus of pictorial maps between 1935 and 1968, most for either Shell Oil or the Pic-Tour guide series. His work is considered stylistically similar to that of Jo Mora."
