About this map

The Neosho River meanders through this portion of northeastern Oklahoma, defining a landscape of complex tribal boundaries and early industrial activity. The map clearly delineates the Quapaw Indian Res Bdy and the Peoria Indian Reservation Boundary, reflecting the area's significance in tribal history. To the south, the city of Miami is shown alongside the St Louis-San Francisco RR and the Will Rogers Turnpike, illustrating the region's mid-century transportation development.

Evidence of the local economy is seen in the numerous tailings piles and gravel pits near Commerce, remnants of the Tri-State mining district. Local heritage is preserved through markers like the Old Indian Cem and the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery, while the presence of Charcoal Kilns near Cow Creek points to specific historical processing sites now nestled among the rural sections of Ottawa County.
