Texas & Indian Territory
Showing Counties and Native American Tribal Territories
This rare map shows the Indian Territory (and the “No Man’s Land” or the Cherokee Outlet panhandle) just prior to the Organic Act of 1890 which reduced Indian Territory to the lands occupied by the Five Civilized Tribes and the Tribes of the Quapaw Indian Agency (at the borders of Kansas and Missouri). The remaining western portion of the former Indian Territory became the Oklahoma Territory. On September 17, 1907 the people of the Indian and Oklahoma Territories voted favorably on statehood and on November 16, 1907 Oklahoma was admitted as the forty-sixth state.
