1900 Map of Atoka

About this map

Atoka and Lehigh anchor this turn-of-the-century portrait of Indian Territory, a landscape defined by the intersection of tribal nations and the advancing Missouri Kansas and Texas R.R. The map clearly delineates the Chickasaw Nation Choctaw Nation boundary line, illustrating the complex geography of the region before Oklahoma statehood. Significant cultural landmarks are visible, including the Chickasaw Rock Academy and the historic Old Boggy Depot, which served as a vital junction on the Butterfield Overland Mail route.
