1901 Map of Muscogee

USGS Topo · Published 1901

About this map

The confluence of the Arkansas River, Verdigris River, and Grand or Neosho River defines this portion of Indian Territory at the turn of the century. This geography of three rivers made the area a vital nexus for transit and settlement, as evidenced by numerous historic river crossings including French's Upper Ferry, Taylor Ferry, and the descriptively named Whisky Ford. The map clearly delineates the boundary line between the Creek Nation and Cherokee Nation, showing how early political divisions bisected the landscape near settlements like Muscogee and Fort Gibson. Rail infrastructure is well established, with the Missouri Kansas and Texas RR and the St. Louis and San Francisco RR intersecting near Wagoner, while the Kansas and Arkansas Valley RR follows the river valleys. Local landmarks such as the Seminary near the northern boundary and the Rattlesnake Mountains to the south provide a complete view of the region's social and physical topography.
