Making a Pioneer Landscape in the Oklahoma Territory
In an incisive account of pioneering, Homestead and Community on the Middle Border, Carl Sauer lamented the lack of attention given to the rural landscape and its changes (Sauer 1963, 37). In a close-up study of four square miles of the western plains, I demonstrate how early settlers attached themselves to the land and, in the process, created a frontier rural landscape. I call this locality, some six miles northeast of Guthrie, Oklahoma Territo…

Early Fencing on the Middle Western Prairie∗
Fencing has played an essential part in the transformation of wild landscapes into cultural landscapes on the American prairie. In some cases, enclosures of farms and fields are sufficiently conspicuous or distinctive to help give character to a place. Contemporary accounts of early fencing and limited quantitative data as to material and form of enclosures permit some generalizations of sequences in fencing and recognition of some distributional…
Early Fencing on the Western Margin of the Prairie∗
The pioneers used familiar modes of fencing in order to help establish effective settlement in Nebraska and Kansas. Ordinarily they started with zigzag rail fence, but soon resorted to substitutes as timber ran short. Hedges, especially of Osage orange, became unusually important in eastern Kansas and southeastern Nebraska. Due to observance of herd law, few enclosures of any kind were made in most of Nebraska and in western Kansas before barbed …

Causes of Wheat Failure in the Dry Farming Region, Central Great Plains, 1939-1957
ToHE Central Great Plains constitutes a region of high risk. The term Dust Bowl, especially applicable to southwestern Kansas and southeastern Colorado, conjures up associated specters of drought, wind, ruined crops, blasted hopes, and damaged land. Risk is a central theme for the understanding of the area, with dry-farming considered especially vulnerable. The success or failure of wheat, the chief crop of most of the area, is an indicator of th…

Here, as Walter Webb pointed out for the Great Plains,' is an opportunity to see how the newcomers go about occupying the land and living on it.

Risk in the Central Great Plains
ENVIRONMENTAL risks are generally considered characteristic of life in the Plains. Dry farming, in particular, has the reputation of being a dangerous gamble. Many writers, among them Powell, Johnson, and Thornthwaite,' have warned that dry farming is too risky to support a stable and prosperous economy. Powell considered conditions west of the 20-inch rainfall line (Fig. 2) as hazardous for uses other than grazing and irrigated farming. The east…
Tontitown
A CLOSE-UP investigation of the Tontitown locality, which is known in northwestern Arkansas as an Italian vineyard community, was undertaken, the objectives being to determine (1) the respects in which the Tontitown community is distinctive in its occupance and the ways in which it is representative of a larger region, and (2) if it is significantly different, why it is different. The study was then widened in an attempt (3) to determine the sign…

The Oklahoma Ozarks as the Land of the Cherokees

Indian Land in the Cherokee Country of Oklahoma
the former Indian Territory in what is now eastern Oklahoma is the existence of a large amount of Indianowned land, much of which is restricted against sale and is tax-exempt. In the Cherokee Country there is much Indian land. It has seemed pertinent to inquire into the extent, quality, and use of such land, with the purpose of evaluating the broad significance of Indian land. Emphasis will be given land in the eastern, wooded, or Ozarkian portio…

Some Features of Early Woodland and Prairie Settlement in a Central Iowa County
HE general relations of woodland and prairie settlement in Illinois are fairly well known, thanks to such studies as those of Barrows, Pooley, Poggi, and Brown,' but scant attention has been given to the historical geography of the Iowa prairies,2 which, except in their western margins, did not present settlement conditions markedly different from those of Illinois. Generally speaking, the major types of land in the Iowa Prairies at the time of w…

The Northern Wet Prairie of the United States
W HEN I became interested in the occupation and utilization of formerly wet prairie in Iowa as a significant theme in historical geography, I was V t unable to a general study describing naturally poorly drained land in the state and giving its location. In fact, an examination of geographical writing about the prairies showed that geographers have been only little aware of the existence of the former wet prairies. The first problem was, then, to…
