Why this spot
1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Arkansas River, just above its confluence with the Verdigris and Grand (Neosho) rivers
One of the oldest Sanborn coverages in the state (1886), reflecting Muskogee's early role as an Indian Territory river and rail town; a top-priority hotspot for the earliest bottle era.
