I love this map! Thanks for sharing it. I'm not an Oklahoma history expert, but I think I can lend some insight to this map. The first landrun in Oklahoma was in 1889, so this map actually shows the different tribes that were forcefully relocated to Oklahoma. For example, you can see "Cherokee Country," "Creek Country," "Sac and Fox," etc. In terms of the green dots, I'm not entirely sure what they are. At 1:27, you zoom in to NW Oklahoma, where there is a black line with several green dots. That line appears to be the path of the Sante Fe railroad offshoot that went from Kiowa, Kansas to Amarillo, Texas. It shows towns along the route as white dots; many of these towns are still in existence today (although Whitehead changed its name to Fargo). If this is all correct, the green dots could be railroad depots. I know there was one just outside of Gage, Oklahoma. However, I'm not sure why they would represent this line as a black line instead of showing it as a railway symbol. This is more information than you probably need, but hopefully, this makes the map easier to understand!
Thank You for that, A whole lot of people do not even know that Indian Territory was annexed to Arkansas, Because of course Indian Territroy came from Arkansas.
Page 260 The first federal land law offered a minimum tract of 640 acres at $2 an acre, half the price to be paid within 30 days and the remainder within a year.

Many settlers did not have that much money.
