"Indian Territory", General Land Office

A most interesting and detailed map that provides a fascinating study of the progress of settlement and surveying. Reflects the status of lands allocated to various tribes shown through color coding. Indian removals from their 'home lands' began as early as 1817 and in the years following many of the principal Eastern Indian tribes were relocated to Indian Territory where the Five Civilized Tribes formed the nucleus of an organized government. By 1883, however, representatives of nearly fifty tribes had settled on lands once promised to the original five. This map reflects many of these allocations and provides some data on the pertinent treaties involved. Does not include the panhandle, which by this time are Public Lands. Drawn by G. P. Strum.
