This is an updated version of the General Land Office map first published in 1898. It shows the configuration of Oklahoma without Indian Territory, which at this time was under consideration for separate statehood (Sequoyah). The map locates the Osage Nation in the northeast corner of the territory, military reservations, forest reserves and U.S. Land Offices. Guthrie is noted as the capital. The following year in 1907, Indian Territory was absorbed by Oklahoma and the two became a single state. Drawn by Charles J. Helm under the direction of Frank Bond. The map is still bound into the rear of the 154-page Report of the Governor of Oklahoma.
