The originals of these maps were produced during
the golden age of US map design, engraved on steel or copper
plates. Notice the intricate and beautiful borders that many
of these maps have which adds greatly to the visual appeal.
These stunnning and historic maps are reproduced
directly at very high resolution from original maps from our
Western Map Books collection. They are printed on very heavy
premium parchment stock that enhances the period lok of these
fine maps.
Map Condition: The maps reproduced are old and
have gained a lot of character and interest through age. The
reproduced maps are not perfect in any way and may show stains,
rips, spots, darkening or tinting and may not be exactly square.
In other words, they are the real thing. If less than perfect
condition is not acceptable, then please do not order.
The sample picture shown is at very low Internet
resolution and reduced in size. It does not even begin to show
the detail and quality of the actual map. All reproductions
are scanned at 300+ dpi and offer fantastic resolution and detail
even in reduced sized prints.

copyrighted designs based on antique S.A. Mitchell maps from
our Unique collection. Perfect for western historians, researchers,
western fiction readers, military historians, museums, schools,
academics and scholars as a reference. Carefully researched
and presented in large scale for easy readability on fine, acid
free parchment paper. XXX sizes available.

Indian Territory was established by the United
States in the 1830's as a protected reservation for the Native
American or Indian Tribes that were being displaced by incoming
settlers. Indian Territory had a long, interesting and often
tragic history before 1907, after which it was accepted into
the Union as the State of Oklahoma. What is known as Indian
Territory was actually a shifting conglomeration of reservations,
unclaimed lands and public lands that underwent constant change
under the changing political winds for its entire history.
The history of Indian Territory is tied closely
to the the development of Texas from its early days as a Republic.
Due to the geography of the two states they almost always were
shown on a common map.
The George F. Cram Co. of Chicago made many of
the best individual maps of what was known as Indian Territory
and these were published in their popular Atlases of the period.
Many of the Cram maps were also licensed for use in other Atlases
and Geographies.
An unusual and beautiful map
This 1887 map is very unique in that it shows
one fairly small segment of the area almost in the center of
the Territory. It was not a part of the Indian Lands and was
known to some as "Oklahoma Country". Within its bounds
on the Cimmaron River was the small city of Guthrie which was
to become the first capital of Oklahoma. At the time of this
map the Santa Fe railroad had built south out of Kansas headed
for Gainesville, Texas and the cities of Alfred, Seward, Edmond,
Moore, Norman, Wayne & Purcell among others were on the
map. Oklahoma City, the future state capital is shown only as
a stop named Oklahoma on the Canadian River.
The map we are offering is a direct reproduction
from an original in the Electric Books collection
1887 was toward the end of the time of the great
Cattle Drives to railheads in Kansas and further north. The
legendary Chisholm Trail passed through this section of Indian
Territory on its way from the longhorn crossing at Red River
Station in Texas on north to to Newton and Abilene. Jesse Chisholm
who was long gone by this time had left a legacy from his first
travels through the Territory to Texas.
What makes this map very unique is the high level
of detail that is normally omitted in the maps of the period
since most of them covered much larger areas. For instance,
while the Chisholm Trail was widely known, it was very seldom
shown on maps of the period. This 1887 map has great detail
on the trails.
Some other interesting points on this map:
Chisholm's Old Ranch
Chisholm's Cattle Trail
Abilene Ol Road Trail
Branch of Abilene Trail
Cherokee House
Baker's Stage Station
Prairie Dog Town
Kingfisher
Mission House
Rock Mound Cliffs
Negro Settlement
Indian Wigwam
Sulphur Spring
Whitaker
Fort Reno
Fort Sill - Arkansas City Road
Old Ft. Sith & Santa Fe Road
This is both a decorative and interesting map
printed on very heavy paper. It will look great in a mat and
frame but will withstand usage for research and history purposes.

Using Antique maps to
illustrate and supplement other teaching materials can be very
useful. Antique maps are much more interesting since they were
published at the real time that historic events were happening.
And with their diversity they are definitely much easier and
more fun for the student to look at. They also contain historic
content that modern maps just don't show.
Each Texas or US History
Slide Show map set contains over a dozen antique maps that have
been selected to correspond to significant time periods in the
historical development. They have been arranged by time line
from earliest to latest. These maps are described on the Slide
Show control page. The Texas map set has a simple script included
that may be used as a guide. It can be printed or copied
to a word processor.
The CD runs on any Windows® 98SE PC or later
and is portable, requiring no installation. It does not run
on on Macintosh computers. This CD will not run on Windows
95 or NT or on a Mac or Linux computer without a
Windows™ emulator.
