This folio covers the area around Atoka in Indian Territory. Located on Choctaw land, the area is perhaps most notable for a small Civil War skirmish, the Battle of Middle Boggy Depot, that occurred on the outskirts of Atoka in 1864. In addition to an 8-page description of the area by Joseph A. Taff, there are four maps depicting topographical, historical-geological, economical-geological, and structural detail of the region. The maps are followed by two tables of geological detail. Produced under the direction of Charles Walcott. Elephant folio.
