1901 Map of Stonewall

About this map

Chickasaw Nation Seminole Nation Boundary Line divides the northeast corner of this territory, where the Canadian River carves a deep loop across the landscape. Surveyed in the late 1890s, the map documents a network of rural settlements and early educational landmarks like the Collins Institute near Stonewall. The geography is defined by a dense web of waterways, including Bois d'Arc Creek, Mill Creek, and the headwaters of Blue Creek, which reveal the irrigation and travel patterns of the era. Larger hubs such as Ada and Roff are already established along the developing road system, while smaller sites like Jesse, Dolberg, and Oakman anchor the agricultural hinterlands. The western edge is clearly marked by the Oklahoma Indian Territory Boundary Line, providing a detailed look at tribal land divisions and early Oklahoma settlement just after the turn of the century.
