1900 Map of Canadian

About this map

The Cherokee Nation and Choctaw Nation boundaries define this landscape in the years before Oklahoma statehood. Surveyed in the mid-1890s, the map documents the convergence of the North Fork Canadian River and the main Canadian River through a maze of creeks and wetlands like Baptising Creek and Coon Creek. The Missouri Kansas and Texas railroad cuts a north-south line through the territory, establishing critical transportation hubs at Checotah, Bond Sta, and Eufaula.
