Wildlife Habitat in Oklahoma Territory and the Chickasaw Nation, Circa 1870
W 2800.7 F293 no. T-17-P-1 6/04-12/07 c.1 FINAL PERFORMA1~CEREPORT OKL.AHOMA o "7JLDLIFE HABITAT IN OKLAHOMA TERRITORY AND THE CmCKASAW NATION, CIRCA 1870 . OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION June 1, 2004 through December 31,2007 Grant Tide: Wildlife Habitat in Oklahoma Territory and the Chickasaw Nation, circa 1870 Principal Investiga!or: Bruce Hoagland . '. Abstract: Habitat loss is the greatest threat facing wildlife species. This project created a land cover map of Oklahoma using General Land Office plats circa 1871. Such maps provide both a snapshot of past habitat conditions and a baseline for comparison with the modern distribution of wildlife habitat. General Land Office plats were acquired from the Archives Division of the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, georeferenced and digitized. Plat features were categorized as hydrology, transportation, land cover, or settlement. Each of these categories were further subdivided. For example, land cover consisted of natural (i.e., grassland, forests, etc.) and agricultural (cultivated lands, orchards, etc.). A total of 1,348 plats were digitized and joined into a comprehensive map. Grassland (6.2 million hectares) was the most extensive land cover type, followed by forest-woodland (2.6 million hectares). A sawmill, two lime kilns, a sandstone quarry, and several stores are examples of settlement features encountered. Land in cultivation was 7,600 hectares, and several named ranches were present. Future studies should include comparisons between the 1870s map and modern data sources such as the Gap Analysis map in order to quantify habitat change. Introduction: Habitat loss is the greatest threat facing wildlife species.

Lake Texoma State Park Resource Management Plan Marshall County, Oklahoma
Lake Texoma State Park Resource Management Plan Marshall County, Oklahoma Lowell Caneday, Ph.D. 6/30/2017 Fatemeh (Tannaz) Soltani, Ph.D. Chang-Heng (Hank) Yang This page intentionally left blank. i Acknowledgements The authors acknowledge the assistance of numerous individuals in the preparation of this Resource Management Plan (RMP). On behalf of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department’s Division of State Parks, staff members were extremely helpful in providing access to information and in sharing of their time. The essential staff providing assistance for the development of the RMP included Julie Roach, manager of Lake Texoma State Park. Assistance was also provided by Kris Marek, Doug Hawthorne, Don Schafer and Ron McWhirter – all from the Oklahoma City office of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. Merle Cox, Regional Manager of the Southeastern Region of Oklahoma State Parks also attended these meetings and assisted throughout the project. This RMP supplements and updates an earlier document from 2009. Due to the events of the time, the 2009 RMP focused on other possible properties that could be considered for expansion and development within the Oklahoma State Park system. Given the events and circumstances present in 2017, this RMP focuses on the future of the properties remaining within the boundaries of the extant Lake Texoma State Park. The October 2016 kick-off meeting followed critical discussions between the Commissioners of the Land Office (CLO), OTRD, Pointe Vista, and other parties regarding properties formerly included in the original Lake Texoma State Park. Attending this kick-off meeting on behalf of Pointe Vista and Catfish Bay Marina was Ryan Chapman.

Slaves and Slaveholders in the Choctaw Nation: 1830-1866
SLAVES AND SLAVEHOLDERS IN THE CHOCTAW NATION: 1830-1866 Jeffrey L. Fortney , Jr., B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2009 APPROVED: D. Harland Haglen, Major Professor Randolph Campbell, Committee Member F. Todd Smith, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Michael Monticino, Interim Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Fortney Jr., Jeffrey L. Slaves and Slaveholders in the Choctaw Nation: 1830-1866. Master of Arts (History), May 2009, 71 pp., 5 tables, 4 figures, bibliography, 46 titles. Racial slavery was a critical element in the cultural development of the Choctaws and was a derivative of the peculiar institution in southern states. The idea of genial and hospitable slave owners can no more be conclusively demonstrated for the Choctaws than for the antebellum South. The participation of Choctaws in the Civil War and formal alliance with the Confederacy was dominantly influenced by the slaveholding and a connection with southern identity, but was also influenced by financial concerns and an inability to remain neutral than a protection of the peculiar institution. Had the Civil War not taken place, the rate of Choctaw slave ownership possibly would have reached the level of southern states and the Choctaws would be considered part of the South.

Fort Mcculloch a Mostly Forgotten Choctaw Historical Site Part One in a Three-Part Series by James Briscoe
Iti Fabussa Fort McCulloch A mostly forgotten Choctaw historical site Part one in a three-part series by James Briscoe Fort McCulloch was built shortly after the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern (as it was known by the Confederates or Pea Ridge as the Union called it) in the Spring of 1862. For a time, the post was the largest and most fortified Confederate position in Indian Territo- ry, and yet so little was written about it that a traveler in 1870 wrote in the diary of his trip down the Texas/Butterfield Road, “Today we passed an earthen fort with rifle pits. Whose it was and for what we did not learn.” The earthen fort Joseph Edmonds spoke of was undoubtedly one of two gun positions guarding the west side of the crossing of Blue River on his trip down the old road. The two gun positions were a small part of a military post that covered over two square miles and housed (for a time) over 3000 troops of Choctaw, Chickasaw, Arkansas and Texas military units. The earthen fort Edmonds found on the Texas/ The fort was built by General Albert Pike, who became the Butterfield Road. ranking Confederate officer in Indian Territory after the death of post, consisting of the Quartermaster’s compound, unit-sized General Benjamin McCulloch at the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern. bivouacs, mechanics shops and the headquarters area.

University Microfilms International 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor
INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily d vendant upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image o f the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4 . The m ajority o f users indicate th at the textual content is o f greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
