the original 1825 tripoint was actually situated at
the osage & tulsa county corner shown here a couple
hundred yards east of the marker position indicated as
accurately as possible by the red star at the named
street intersection
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&addtohistory=&address=N%20Maybelle%20Ave%20%26%20W%20Edison%20St&city=Tulsa&state=OK&zipcode=74127&country=US&geodiff=1
the tripoint was still shown as a 3 nations point on
this 1895 map
http://www.livgenmi.com/1895/OK/state.htm
& since tulsa county dates from 1907
this point is most probably & most simply
1825us2ok3chcros1907
more technically tho
since oklahoma territory was separated from indian
territory in 1890
&
as the above map shows
oklahoma before 1907 was comprised of the indian
territory shown in yellow plus the old oklahoma
territory shown in pink
then the true name of the ghost
which also marked a turnpoint on the border of these 2
territories between 1890 & 1907
is perhaps better expressed as
1825us2it1890itok3chcros1907
