Indian meridian, Principal meridian in Oklahoma, US
The Indian Meridian extends through Oklahoma at longitude 97° 14′ 30″ west from Greenwich, marking the north-south reference line from the Red River to Kansas.
Surveyors E. N. Darling and Thomas H. Barrett established this principal meridian in 1870, placing its initial point one mile south of Fort Arbuckle.
The meridian's designation reflects its establishment during the Indian Territory period, representing a significant shift in land organization methods for Oklahoma.
Land surveyors use this meridian as a primary reference point for property boundaries and legal descriptions throughout Oklahoma, except for the panhandle region.
The initial point of the Indian Meridian earned recognition in the National Register of Historic Places, marking its status as a fundamental geographical reference.
