1900 Map of Canadian

About this map

The Cherokee Nation and Choctaw Nation border one another in this late-nineteenth-century survey of Indian Territory, centered on the confluence of the North Fork Canadian River and the main Canadian River. The landscape is dominated by the river valleys and the early infrastructure of the Missouri Kansas and Texas railroad, which threads through the eastern portion of the map. Major settlements like Eufaula and Checotah appear as established hubs, while smaller rail stops and post offices such as Bond Sta, Fame, and Fishertown mark the contemporary trade routes before later twentieth-century dam projects altered the river courses.
