Rock Saline.—This locality was at one time supposed to mark the western limits of the lands claimed by the Osage Indians, and in the treaty concluded with the Great and Little Osages, at St. Louis, Mo., on June 2, 1825, these Indians ceded to the United States certain lands, the western boundary of which was to be a line drawn from the head sources of the Kansas southwardly through the "Rock Saline," etc. According to the map and field notes of John C. McCoy, the deposit of rock salt, known as "Rock Saline" was on the headwaters of Salt creek, near the north fork of the Canadian river in Oklahoma.
