Hastain's township plats of the Creek Nation : Hastain, E : Internet Archive
This handbook has a pair of pages for each 36 sq. mi. township showing which citizen of the Muscogee Creek Nation citizen was allotted each parcel. The letters before the roll number on each parcel indicate the allottee's status:
C = Creek Indian
F = Freedman
MC = Minor Creek
MF = Minor Freedman
NBC = New Born Creek
NBF = New Born Freedman
It's fascinating to see how much land was allotted to freedmen -- descendants of slaves who had belonged to Creek citizens and were freed by the 1866 post-Civil War treaty.
