1905 State Map

[Doug Loudenback]

I found a marvelous 1905 Oklahoma Territory/Indian Territory Map at the Library of Congress website and it's HUGE (raw map is 8,624 x 13,422 pixels). It includes 1905 census information in the gazetter element and shows existing rail lines magnificently. I'm not going to post any text or other stuff here except the following small image showing the overall file which I've broken down into various elements with some discussion.



I've presented some very high resolution maps, and some info about Oklahoma County, Tulsa vicinity, Black Towns, and some other stuff.

Enjoy! The article link is Doug Dawgz Blog: 1905 Oklahoma Map & Gazetter

Very nice...except now I have my face glued to the screen looking at the map!

I've added another, a 1892 Rand McNally map from the Library of Congress's website.

Thanks for posting that Doug, and the link to your site.

I'm new to this page and forum , a lifelong resident of Midwest City .

I bookmarked your website and found the map so interesting since my paternal great grandfather was the first police chief of Shawnee, right when Oklahoma became a state. Him and his brother were lawmen in the Wewoka/Shawnee area for many years in the early 1900s.

Thanks again.
