To explore each, one or more maps with explanatory legends, tables, and graphs are paired with an interpretive essay.Created by cartographer James H. Anderson, more than 170 new maps-in full color-chart Oklahomas rich and varied history and current population trends.Like earlier editions, the Atlas describes Oklahomas landforms and natural resources and traces the states geographic history from the earliest hunter-gatherer bands to todays mostly urban inhabitants. New to this edition are maps exploring additional aspects of the states economy and its diverse society, politics, and culture, such as black history, womens experiences, and the musicians, writers, and other artists identified with the state. Reflecting the most up-to-date information as of 2005 from the U.S. Census Bureau and other sources, this new edition of the Historical Atlas of Oklahoma will be an invaluable resource for scholars, teachers, students, and any reader who wants to know more about the history of Oklahoma.
