About this map

The Neosho River and Spring River converge in this northeastern corner of Oklahoma, creating a landscape defined by winding waterways and ferry crossings. This survey captures a vital period of growth for the Tri-State area before later dam projects altered the river courses. Major transit hubs like Miami, Fairland, and Afton are connected by the St Louis and San Francisco RR, while smaller settlements such as Narcissa, Ogeechee, and Wyandotte dot the prairie.

River travel remained essential at the time of this survey, evidenced by the numerous crossings such as Bobwhite Ferry, Good Eagle Ferry, and Donakoos Ferry. Beyond the main towns, the map documents the rural infrastructure of early Oklahoma and Missouri life, including Shiloh School, Hickory Grove Church, and the expansive Buffalo Prairie. Genealogists will find interest in the proximity of family-named landmarks like Yankee Bill Prairie Creek and Mason Springs.
