The
Cherokee Outlet, often mistakenly referred to as the
Cherokee Strip, was located in what is now the state of
Oklahoma, in the
United States. It was a sixty-mile (97 km) wide strip of land south of the Oklahoma-Kansas border between the
96th and
100th meridians. It was about 225 miles (362 km) long and in 1891 contained 8,144,682.91 acres (32,960 km²).
Enid and
Woodward fall within the historical boundaries of the Cherokee Outlet.
