Note 229 — Chapter XVI

This treaty was completed October 18, 1820. In exchange for the Choctaw lands in Mississippi it reserved for them the territory lying between Arkansas and Canadian rivers on the north, and Red River on the south, with a western boundary running due south from the source of the Canadian to the Red, and an eastern running from Point Remove on the Arkansas to a point three miles below the mouth of Little River. The portion of this tract lying within the limits of Arkansas was ceded to the United States January 20, 1825.—Ed.
