AN ANTIQUE MAP, "Rand McNally Standard Map of Oklahoma," color ink engraving on paper, with four unusual hand drawn concentric circles over remote areas including the Keechi Hills. 19 1/2" x 26 3/4" Note: A gold rush in the early 20th century enticed thousands of prospectors to enter into Native territories of Oklahoma. This lure of gold combined with a deep history of renegade bandit occupation of this area in the late 19th century by infamous criminals such as Jesse James, perpetuates the myth of buried treasure and unknown wealth hidden somewhere in Oklahoma. Purportedly stashed east of Cache Creek by Jesse James and his gang after an 1876 robbery; the treasure remains yet to be discovered well into the 21st century. The four areas circled by hand appear over the Keechi Hills, over Little Beaver Creek and Cow Creek, the areas between Wewoka Creek and Little River, and finally an over the Canadian River between Little Wewoka Creek and Alabama Creek. Provenance: Property from a Fortune 500 Energy Company, Houston, Texas.
