1901 Map of Nuyaka

About this map

Nuyaka Mission serves as a cultural and geographic anchor in this 1890s survey of the Creek Nation, situated within the drainage basin of the Deep Fork and Salt Creek. The landscape is a network of small family-named watercourses like Frank Henry Creek and McKenson Cr., reflecting the early tribal and settler geography of the Indian Territory before Oklahoma statehood. Transportation and commerce are defined by the St. Louis and San Francisco R. R., which connects the growing communities of Sapulpa, Kellyville, and Bristow.
