Travel to U.S.: Oklahoma: Downtown Oklahoma City: Photo 8

A modern map, compiled in 1960 by the Oklahoma County Clerk, showing the patents or federal deeds that were issued for the same township after the federal government opened it to settlement in the famous land run of April 22, 1889. Most of the township is covered by 160-acre quarter-section homesteads, but Section 33 is different. The southeast quarter of it, plus the south half of the northeast quarter--a total of 160 acres plus 80 acres--are marked as the Oklahoma City Townsite. Reno Avenue, though not marked here, runs along the base of the township. The squiggly line is the course of the North Canadian as it was before the 1950s, when engineers learned it to behave.
