A GAZETrrEER OF INDIANI TERRITORY. 

I 

By HENRY GANNETT. 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF TE:E TERRITORY. 

Indian Territory is situated in the south-central part of the United 

States, between latitudes 33° 25' and · 37° 00' alnd etwee~ ·longitudes 

94° 25' and 98° 00'. It is bounded on the nortn by Kansas, on the east 

by Arkansas, on the south by Texas, and on ll ~ west by Oklahoma. 

The north boundary is the thirty -seventh pardllel; the east boundary, 

commencing on the south at Red River, in approximate longitude 

94° 29', follows a meridian north to A·rkansas River, and thence runs 

in a direct line to the southwest corner of Miss9uri. Thence it follows 

the west line of Missouri, which is a meridmn through the mouth 

of Kansas River, north to the thirty-seventh parallel. The south 

boundary is the mid-channel of Red Rivei·. 1 The west boundary 

commences in Red River at its intersection ith the ninety-eighth 

meridian and follows this meridian north to Canadian River, thence 

southeastward along the mid-channel of Canadian River to a point in 

approximate longitude 96° 46'; where the river intersects the middle 

line of range 5 east. The line then runs north along the range line 

to its intersection with the North Fork of Canadian River, which it 

follows eastward to its intersection with the rahge line between ranges 

6 and 7 east; thence it follows the range line lilorth to its intersection 

with the township line between townships 19 and 20 north, then eastward along this township line to the ninety-sixth Dlftridian, which it 

follo~s north to the thirty -seventh parallel. 'll'he area of the-Territory 

is 31,400 square miles. I 

_The surface presents con.siderable variation of reliefr ranging from 

rugged hills to level or rolling prairie. The orthern part, including 

the western part of what is known as the Cheroltee Nation, is 

almost a rolling prairie. The eastern part ollf this nation, however, 

lying north of Arkansas River and east of Neosho River, is hilly 

and broken, containing a part of . the Ozark Plateau, wl hich is deeply 

dissected with streams flowing in canyons. J

The region between the Arkansas and the Canadian is mostly a rolling plain. South of the Canadian, in the part of the Territory known 

as the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations, much of the land is hilly and 

mountainous, being occupied by the Ozark Hills. These consist mainly 

of narrow winding ridges, with a general east-west trend, separated 

by narrow valleys. These hills extend into the Territory from 

western Arkansas and stretch nearly across it, fading out to the westward in the Chickasaw Nation. North of the Ozark Hills the country 

slopes to the Arkansas and the Canadian, and south of them to Red 

River. 

The lowest part · of the Territory, which is its · southeast corner 

on Red River, is about 300 feet above sea level, while its greatest 

altitude is approximately 3,000 feet. 

'J-'he principal rivers of the Territory are the Arkansas, the Canadian, 

and the Red. The Arkansas crosses it in the northern part, flowing 

in a southeasterly direction. From the north it receives three large 

branches, the Verdigris, the Neosho, and the Illinois, and from 

the south the Canadian. Red River forms the southern boundary 

and receives in its course along the border the waters of Mud Creek, 

Washita and Blue rivers, Boggy Creek, and Kiamichi River. Little 

River joins Red River outside the Territory in Arkansas, and drains a 

considerable area in the southeastern part of the Territory. 

About 62 per ce~t of the area of the Territory is wooded. The 

chief wooded areas, which lie in the east and the southeast, consist of the 

Ozark Plateau in eastern Cherokee Nation and the Ozark Hills, mostly 

in Choctaw Nation. Besides these areas, timber is found more or less 

scattered in all parts of the Territory. The timber is of great variety; 

the mountain forests in the eastern and southeastern parts c-ontain 

considerable amounts of pine, mixed with hard woods; elsewhere the 

forests are everywhere composed of hard woods, comprising oaks, 

bla~k walnut, ash, pecan, cottonwood, sycamore, · elm, hackberry, 

maple, and many other species. 

The climate of Indian Territory is that of the transition region 

between . the forested lands of the Mississippi Valley and the Great 

Plains. It is that of the prairie region. The mean annual temperature 

of much the larger part of the Territory ranges between ·60° and 65° F.; 

but in the northern part, including most of the Cherokee country, and 

in the mountains of the southeast, in the Choctaw Nation, "the mean 

annual temperature is somewhat lower, ranging from 55° to 60°. 

The distribution of mean annual rainfall follows meridians rather 

than parallels. The eastern part of the Territory is abundantly 

watered, receiving from 40 to 50 inches annually. The western 

part of the Territory is not so well watered, but still receives a 

sufficient amount for all agricultural requirements, the precipitation· 

being from 30 to 40 inches annually. 
GANNETT.) GAZETTEER OF INDIAN TERRITORY, 7 

Almost the entire area of Indian Territory is floored with Carboniferous rocks; only in the southern part of the Territory, along Red 

River, is any considerable area in other formations found. Here there 

is a belt of Cretaceous beds extending over from central Texas, over- · 

lain in a small area in the southeast corner by Tertiary rocks. 

The western part of the Chickasaw Nation, in the southwest~rn part 

of the Territory, contains an area of J uratrias rocks. In the eastern 

part of this nation is a small area of igneous rocks, whose eruption has 

brought to the surface Silurian beds, extending northwestward across 

the Carboniferous and Juratrias belts into Oklahoma. It is probably 

a continuation of the uplift which forms the Wichita Mountains in 

southeastern Oklahoma. 

At various places in the Choctaw Nation coal has been discovered 

and is being mined in large quantities. The most important of these 

localities are just east of McAlester and in the vicinity of Coalgate. 

It is an excellent bituminous coal of Carboniferous age. In the year 

1902 there were mined 2,518,452 tons . . 

The great body of the Territory is divided among five tribes-the 

Cherokee, whose· reservation is in the northern part; the Creek, in 

the central part; the Seminole, just west of them; the Choctaw, in 

the southeast; and the Chickasaw, in the south_west. Besides these 

there are a number of small tribes who have reservatipns grouped 

in the northeast corner of the Territory. These are: Quapaw, Peoria, Modoc, Ottawa, Wyandot, and Shawnee. . The Cherokee, Creek, 

Choctaw, and Chickasaw were removed from the South to this Territory about 1833. The Seminole, who came from Florida, were, after 

a ~ostly war, removed to their present reservation in 1845 . . On 

these reservations the people have developed a considerable degree of 

civilization and have been long known as the Five Civilized Tribes. 

Each tribe has its own system of government, which is patterned 

in many ways after our State governments, with a governor, a legiRlature, and judiciary of their own. The lands were until recently 

held in common and occupation gave all the title that was needed. 

There was an abundan~e of good land for all and no occasion for the 

clashing of interests. This condition of things naturally aroused the 

'cupidity of the white man, and many white men settled in the Territory, marrying Indian wives and thereby acquiring tribal rights. By 

this means squaw-men had acquired much of the valuable coal lands, 

timber lands, and farm lands. Others followed in their wake. Some 

white men were suffered to remain in the Territory on condition of 

paying annual taxes to the tribal government, while a legion· of others 

came and settled without permission, knowing that it would be impossible to oust them. These are known as intruders. In 1900 the census 

showed that the whites in Indian Territory outnumbered the Indians 

many times over, making a situation fraught with great peril for the 
8 GAZETTEER OF INDIAN TERRITORY. (BULL. 248. 

Indians, for it was not to be supposed ·that the whites would long 

remain in such overwhelming numbers without title to the lands 

which they were occupying and subject to Indian laws. This situation 

had been understood for some time, and the lands have been subdivided 

into townships and sections preparatory to allotting them to the 

Indians in severalty and the breaking up of the tribal governments. 

The allotment has been co-mpleted and it is probable that a Territorial 

form of government will be substituted in the near future :for the . 

Indian governments. 

The total population of the Territory in 1900 was 392,060, of 

which not less than 302,680 were whites, 52,500 were Indians, and 

· 36,853 were negroes, either former slaves of the Indians or their 

descendants.

During the :four years since the census was completed a number of 

railroads have been built, and other towns of importance have doubtless sprung up. 

Of the total population the males formed 53.3 per cent and the 

females 46.7 per cent. The population was almost entirely of native 

origin, the persons born in the United States :forming 98.8 per cent 

and the foreign born 1.2 per cent. The whites c~nstituted 77.2 per

The chief industries @f Indian Territory are farming and cattle 

raising. The rainfall is/ ample and the soil ri_ch, and nearly every 

crop produced within th~ limits of the' United States can be raised in · 

the Territory. The pr~iries of . the Cherokee Nation have been in 

large part leased to cattlem.en and enormous he.rds range over them. 

In 1900 the num her of farms in the Territory was 45,505. Of these 

35,451 were occupied by white farmers, 5,95-7 by Indian farmers, and 

4,097 by negro farmers. Only 25.1 per cent of tpese farms were said 

to be owned by the occu ants, by which was meant probably that they 

were occupied by IndianE_or squaw-men under communal rights; 19.5 

per cent were rented for a money rental, and 55.4 per cent were rented 

for a share in the products. 

The total area included within the fa~ms of the Territory was 

7,269,081 acres, of whibh 3,062,193 acres were improved. Of the 

entire area of the Territhry 15.4 per cent was under cultivation. The 

average size of the farmls was 160 acres, considerably larger than the 

average in the United States .

Railroad mileage in recent years has been greatly increased; in 

1902 there were 1,800 miles within the Territory. 

Manufactures are D;Ot extensive; the country is too young and too 

little developed for this branch of industry to have much importance. In 1900 manufacturing establishments with a product of over 

$500 each numbered only 789, and the capital employed in them was· 

$2,624,265. There were 1,849 employees and the net product, after 

· deducting the value of th~ raw material was $3,892,UU. The chief 

industries were cotton ginning, with 187 gins; flour milling, with 61 

mills, and lumber making, with 6 sawmills. 

The entire Territory, with the exception of the small reservations 

in the northeast corner, has been surveyed and mapped on the scale of 

1: 125,000 by the United States Geological Survey in connection with 

the s-q.bdivision of the lands, which was executed by that organization.
