4. Map Showing Progress of Selection Surveys to and Including June 30, 1901

6. Map Showing Comparative Land Classifications, Creek and Seminole Nations
7. Map Showing Comparative Land Classifications, Chickasaw Nation

9. Diagram Showing Irregular Holdings as Surveyed by the Commission Prior to Preliminary Allotment
10. Diagram Showing Same Section as Adjusted by Commission
11. Patent Issued to Mississippi Choctaw, September 2, 1846, by President Polk

The three other sections in the annual report include the "Report of the United States Indian Inspector…" which includes three additional maps, "Proposals Received and Contracts Awarded for Supplies for the Indian Service", and "Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners."

This is an important document describing the breakup of the Indian Territory, leading up to its inclusion in the State of Oklahoma in 1907. 891pp. with 22 plates of illustrations. 8vo, hardbound in brown cloth covered boards with gilt title on spine.
