Volume 14 , Issue 17

Duchess of Weaselskin

Has the weather calmed down some in the Heartland of Oklahoma this week? Durango, Colorado was suppose to get up in the 80's this week. NW Okie has been heating up her portable greenhouse, purchasing some blooming tomatoes and herb plants from our local Bayfield, Colorado nursery. AND . . . someone mentioned that hummingbirds have been spotted around here. Everything is arriving earlier than usual, it seems!

We have heard from someone through a comment in our Vol. 14, Iss. 5 of the OkieLegacy, who has two old maps that cover Oklahoma only and terminates at the Kansas border. They said that by 1890 the Santa Fe was in existence and trails were no longer listed. In 1884 there were many unnamed trails shown that reached the border in that general area.

Sandie Olson with the Waynoka Historical Society says, "The map with unnamed trails would be very interesting to see. I have a few early maps that show the railroad when Waynoka was named Keystone. The name was changed in 1887 because the post office department said there was already a Keystone in Oklahoma."
