"Oklahoma and Indian Territory." Springfield, Ohio: Mast, Crowell & Kirkpatrick, ca. 1890-99. Cerograph, printed in color. 9 3/4 x 12 1/2. Very good condition. Framed.
An interesting map of showing the current state of Oklahoma in the period after the Oklahoma Territory was formed, in 1890, but before the Indian Territories were subsumed into the state, in 1907. The original Indian Territories consisted of a large tract of land in the trans-Mississippi region to which eastern tribes were forced to move with the Indian Removal Act of 1830. By 1856 the Indian Territories were reduced to the present borders of Oklahoma, but in 1866, the U.S. Government, accusing the Indian tribes of supporting the Confederacy, took over about 2 million acres (soon called Oklahoma) in the center of the territory. After years of trying to keep out EuroAmerican settlers, these lands were finally opened to non-Indians in April 1889, with the western part of the old territory becoming the Oklahoma Territory in 1890. This map shows that political situation, with the western part of the map Oklahoma and the eastern part divided among reservations for the Kiowa and Comanche, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Cherokee and other tribes. $275
