This is the large version of this superb map from the series by the General Land Office that reflect the status of lands allocated to various tribes. By 1879, the region was divided into a myriad of Indian nations and reservations, all but the smallest of which are annotated here with references to one or more treaties relating to their formation. The map is filled with fascinating detail of early forts, settlements, roads and trails. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad runs through the territory from Chetopa, Kansas to Denison, Texas and the Atlantic Pacific Railroad's proposed route is shown. Of particular interest are the many early roads and trails: Abilene Cattle Trail, Road to Arkansas City, Road from Cheyenne Agency to Camp Supply, Chisholm's Cattle Trail, Stage Road to Boggy Depot - to name just a few. There is a Negro Settlement near the site of Lexington. This map does not include the panhandle, which by this time is Public Lands as noted to the left of the map. Drawn by C. Roeser, Principle Draughtsman for the General Land Office. Backed with linen, as issued.
