About this map

The Chisholm Trail cuts a vertical path through the heart of the Chickasaw Nation in this survey, tracing the historic route of cattle drives just as the region transitioned from Indian Territory toward statehood. The cattle economy is physically anchored at Addington, where the Stock Yards sit adjacent to the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR. This rail corridor serves as the primary spine for settlement, connecting towns like Duncan, Comanche, and Sugden.

Away from the tracks, the landscape is defined by the complex drainage of Mud Creek and its many branches, including West Mud Creek and South Fork Mud Creek. The Old Indian Territory Boundary Line marks the western edge of the map, while the Duncan and Davis Road provides an east-west transit across the northern sections. Rural outposts such as Woolsey, Loco, and Cornish are scattered across the interior, often situated near distinctive landmarks like Monument Hill.
