It seems that it will be appearing in all three maps in Pawnee or Cheyenne/Arapahoe Country. But if you look at it as in the original treaty boundarys Creek Country ran on the South side of the Arkansas to Kansas and on the Northside of the Canadian(South) to the same point North and South if my memory is serving me tonight. So technically at one time it was Creek.
But we can't afford tecnicalities when we try to affix an arrow to a location can we?

Mr Demoss's book had several statements from SW Brown and he always seemed to be angry with Dr. BB Chapman.

But I don't think that Texan could have been wrong in the direction the river ran,,,,LOL.

Up until I read just about everything I could. I believed the Southern Creeks won the battle because they held the field. But their objective was not obtained and the Union objective was so Victory goes to the one who does what he sets out to do.
