The map depicts both Oklahoma and the Indian Territory.
Indian Territory was originally "all of that part of the United States
west of the Mississippi, and not within the States of Missouri and
Louisiana, or the Territory of Arkansas." Never an organized territory,
it was soon restricted to the present state of Oklahoma, excepting the
panhandle and Greer county. The Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, Cherokee, and
Chickasaw tribes were forcibly moved to this area between 1830 and 1843,
and an act of June 30, 1834, set aside the land as Indian country (later
known as Indian Territory). In 1866 the western half of Indian
Territory was ceded to the United States, which opened part of it to
white settlers in 1889. This portion became the Territory of Oklahoma in
1890 and eventually encompassed all the lands ceded in 1866. The two
territories were united and admitted to the Union as the state of
Oklahoma in 1907.
Engraved area is 8 3/4" x 11 1/4"; wide margins.
