Catalogue Note
A very scarce allotment map of Indian lands, issued by an Oklahoma attorney specializing in Land Office business. The Indian allotments and pastures are shown in red, government lands in white and military reserves in black. The Kiowa-Comanche lands in southwestern Oklahoma were opened to homesteaders in 1901 by lottery in order to avoid the earlier, disorderly land rushes by "Sooners."
