SURVEY IN JOHNSTON COUNTY, OKLA. 
Johnston County is located in the south-central part of Oklahoma 
and is a part of the area which comprised the Indian Territory. 
The tillage records for this area (Table XXIII) were taken near 
Tishomingo. 
The prevailing soil is a sand or clay loam with a heavier loam 
subsoil. The topography of this area is irregular. Some parts are 
very rolling or hilly and are drained by surface ditches. In other 
parts of the county there are broad, gently rolling prairie areas 
which require no drainage.
