the original 1825 tripoint was actually situated at<br/>
the osage & tulsa county corner shown here a couple<br/>
hundred yards east of the marker position indicated as<br/>
accurately as possible by the red star at the named<br/>
street intersection<br/>

<br/>
the tripoint was still shown as a 3 nations point on<br/>
this 1895 map<br/>

<br/>
& since tulsa county dates from 1907<br/>
this point is most probably & most simply <br/>
1825us2ok3chcros1907<br/>
<br/>
more technically tho<br/>
since oklahoma territory was separated from indian<br/>
territory in 1890 <br/>
& <br/>
as the above map shows<br/>
oklahoma before 1907 was comprised of the indian<br/>
territory shown in yellow plus the old oklahoma<br/>
territory shown in pink<br/>
then the true name of the ghost <br/>
which also marked a turnpoint on the border of these 2<br/>
territories between 1890 & 1907<br/>
is perhaps better expressed as<br/>
1825us2it1890itok3chcros1907<br/>
<br/>
