Army posts are marked in red -- Ft. Sill, Ft. Reno and the Wood Res. Railroads, public roads and trails are identified by symbols shown in the legend. Land Offices are located at Woodward, Alva, Enid, Perry, Guthrie, Kingfisher, Ft. Reno, Oklahoma City, and Mangum. Condition: A colorful example with some faint offsetting. (A)
B. Map of Oklahoma Territory..., 1905. An updated version of the 1898 map that shows a contraction of the lands previously held by the Kiowa, Comanche, Apache and Wichita Indians.
