Indian Territory and Public Land Map 1879 with Historic Letters. Original title: "Map of Indian Territory." Shows Indian Reservations. This is an enhanced, restored reproduction of an old map showing Indian Reservations and Public Land as of 1876. Note the two letters on the side that discuss the disposition of land in the area that would eventually become Oklahoma. The first letter is from Congressman Augustus Albert with inquiries. The second is a reply from Col. Boudinot. He describes historical events about the acquisition of the land. He wrote he wanted to "set the records straight."
The map also shows locations of forts and railroad lines. I have selected interesting, old 19th and early 20th century graphic images for digital restoration and editing. The images were then adjusted and brightened to make the images suitable for display and other purposes. The resulting image brings out many details and landmarks, making this map a great historical reference and conversation piece. © 2021 for this restored reproduction
