1909 Map of Wyandotte

About this map

The Neosho River and Spring River converge in this northeastern corner of Oklahoma, documenting the complex borderlands of the Cherokee and Quapaw nations during the early years of statehood. The terrain is characterized by broad prairies like Buffalo Prairie and Sweetwater Prairie, broken by the deep meanders of river bends such as Mudeater Bend and Echo Bend. A network of river crossings, including Rodwhite Ferry and Good Eagle Ferry, reveals a landscape where water travel remained vital even as the St. Louis and San Francisco RR expanded through Miami and Wyandotte.
