Maybe someone with an overview on the topic can determine if this scan of an 1890s map, recently uploaded to commons, can be useful:
Because of the nature of this article, and the wide range of history on this topic. I think it should be classified as a High to Mid importance article. Trey Wainman ( talk) 08:02, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
Since the U.S. constitution applied fully to the Louisiana Purchase (and by extension, the land that would later be designated Indian Territory) after its acquisition from France, and there was no doctrine of territorial incorporation prior to the Insular Cases, the article should state that the Indian Territory was an incorporated and unorganized territory.

All of the maps are confusing in this article, but the one in the infobox is perhaps the most frustrating. Most (like the one in the infobox) show 'Indian Territory and Oklahoma [Territory]', but none of them tell which is which. There is a bright red line down the middle, but is Indian Territory to the west or the east of that line? Could someone who knows clarify the description with something like, 'The Oklahoma (left) and Indian Territories (right) in 1890', please? Cheers, Last1in ( talk) 13:37, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
