West, M. H. (sold)
M. H. West (fl. c. 1910 - 1980) was a cartographer, landscape architect, map printer, and purveyor of surveying supplies based on Akard St. in downtown Dallas, Texas. Little biographical information is available about him, though he appears to have begun his career as a landscape architect and city planner in Illinois and Nebraska in the 1910s, before relocating to Dallas around the end of that decade, whereupon he began to produce maps. Dallas city directories of the era list him variously as a landscape architect and seller of engineers' supplies. Contemporary advertisements note him as selling blueprints, drawing and surveying supplies, maps, and charts. The firm appears in city directories as late as 1979, most likely outliving its founder.
