The boundary of the Muskogee Historic Freight District is indicated by the black line on the attached boundary map. Property Tax No. N/A Boundary Justification (Explain why the boundaries were selected.) The boundaries of the Muskogee Depot and Freight District encompass the concentration of historic resources that retain integrity and are significantly associated with the railroad and rail freight development of the area as described in the contexts presented in Section 8. The contributing resources define the historic setting and feelings of the Muskogee Depot and Freight District, and the District's boundaries correspond to the rear lot lines of the included properties and include the alleyway rail spur between South 5th and Owen Streets. The four-lane width and greater volume of traffic along Columbus Avenue create a natural break between the District and the commercial and institutional development to the north. Beyond the boundaries, non-associated retail commercial and residential uses, as well as vacant lots become increasingly prevelant. DSee continuation sheetfs) for Section No. 10 name/title Sally F.
