Exploring Oklahoma online

Check out this story in the Tulsa World for more than 600 historical maps on society’s Web site that show Indian territories, cities in their infancy.

Dig around a little and find original plats of just about every town in what is now eastern Oklahoma, including Owasso, and a 1902 plat of Tulsa. There’s a spectacular “New Map of Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico and Indian Territories” from 1856 and a hand-drawn map of the Choctaw Removal.
