Nowata serves as the central hub of this Cherokee Nation survey, which captures the region at a time when the Indian Territory Kansas Boundary Line and the Indian Territory Oklahoma Boundary Line still defined the political landscape. The development of the area is closely tied to the expansion of rail lines, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe R. R. and the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern R. R. cutting through the territory. These rail corridors fostered the growth of towns like Bartlesville, Delaware, and Lenapah.
