Original 1889
antique color lithographed map of the unassigned lands in Oklahoma, printed more
than
135 years ago.
- The image area measures 29.7
x 24 cm
[11¾" x 9½"], and the map has wonderful detail throughout, including
stage routes, cattle trails, railroads, cities, settlements, natural features,
and township and range lines.
- The area depicted had been sold to the U.S. government by the Creek (Muskogee) and
Seminole Indians and
opened up to settlement in what we know today as the Oklahoma Land Rush.
- Among the named places and features are the Cimarron River,
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, Prairie Dog Town, Baker' Stage Station,
Darlington, Fort Sill & Arkansas City Road, Kingfisher, Silver City, Alfred,
Indian Wigwam, Canadian River, Negro Settlement, Purcell, Moore, Chisholm's Cattle
Trail, Norman, Edmond, and Guthrie, which later
became Oklahoma's first state capital.
- This map was published by
George Franklin Cram, Chicago
in 1889, the same year the area shown was opened for settlement in the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889.
