This reserve is inchnled within the Big Sioux reservation ol" Apr. 29, 1868, and 

 its outlines am shown by a dotted red line on Dakota man 1. 



This was intended only as a temporary reserve, the treaty providing that as 

 soon as practicable a new reserve shouhl be dcsifjnated, no part of which 

 should be within the state of Kansas. This was done by treaty of Oct. 28, 

 1867, and the reserve here fle,scril>ed was relinquiBhed. As it was never their 

 reserve except in name, and as tlie same territory is covered by the claims of 

 other tribes, it is not shown on the map. 



This cession practically covers only the reserve a.ssigned them by treaty of Feb. 

 18, 1861. The remainder of their country had already been ceded by that 

 treaty and the cession is reiterated here only to satisfy a dispute by some of 

 the Indians on that point. 



These Apache consisted of but a sm.all fr.action of the eastern bands of that 

 tribe. By this treaty they relinquished their interest in the Apache conn- 

 try, but this did not involve the interest of the remainder of the tribe. The 

 territory claimed by the eastern bands of Apache comprised portions of 

 Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and the "Public Land Strip" (in Oklahoma) 

 and overlapped a portion of the country claimed by the Kiowa and Comanche 

 and ceded by them by treaties of Oct. 18, 1865, and Oct. 21,1X67. The original 

 claim of the eastern Apache is shown in jjart on New Mexico map 1 and is 

 fully shown ou the special map of Texas (No. 688). 



This reserve covered a large portion of northwestern Texas (where it over- 

 lapped the Apache country), the western portion of Indian Territory (where 

 it overlapped the original Osage and Quapaw countries), and the "Public 

 Land Strip " W. of Indian Territory. It was partly relinquished by the treaty 

 of Oct. 21, 1807. The portion thus ceded comprised all that part within the 

 limits of Texas, the Public Land Strip, and a portion of Indian Territory. 

 See tre.".ty of Oct. 21, 1867. For limits of this reserve by treaty of Oct. 18, 1865, 

 see special map of Texas. 



The country claimed by the Comanche and Kiowa comprised all of western 

 and northwestern Texas and eastern New Mexico (where it overlapped on 

 the claim of the Apache), the western portion of Indian Territory (where it 

 included first, portions of the original Osage and Quapaw countries, and 

 later, portions of the Cherokee, Creek and Choctaw, and Chickasaw coun- 

 tries), the Public Land Strip W. of Indian Territory, and portions of Kan- 

 sas and Colorado S. of Arkansas river. The only country herein ceded 

 not already covered by cessions of other tribes is the portion of Kansas and 

 Colorado referred to and a portion of Texas. For a complete exhibit of the 

 boundaries claimed by the Kiowa, Comanche, and eastern Apache (Jicar- 

 illa and Mescalero) at the close of the Mexican war, with the various snljse- 

 quent modilii'ations, see special map of Texas. The country herein ceded is 

 shown on that map in red, and covers portions of New Mexico, Colorado, 

 Kansas, and Texas; the reserve (in green) is No. 511. 



Part of remainder of reserve restored to public domain by act of Congress 

 of Mar. 3, 1875.
