No Man's Land MuseumGoodwell
When the Territory of Kansas was created in 1854 its boundary was set at the 37th parallel. When Texas came into the union, being a slave state, it could not extend its sovereignty over any territory north of 36 30' North. The Missouri Compromise specified that territory North of this line would be free-state territory. This situation left a narrow strip of land 34 miles wide between Kansas and Texas extending from the 100th parallel on the East to the 103rd parallel on the West, a total of 168 miles in length. At the eastern end of the area was the Cherokee Outlet and at the western end was the Territory of New Mexico. Since the area was claimed by no state, it was soon given the name of No Man's Land, which we now know as the Oklahoma Panhandle. The 10,000 square foot brick, concrete and steel Museum devotes 4 of its rooms to items used in the daily lives of the early ranchers and homesteaders, those who later beat the double burden of the Depression and Dustbowl, and those who witnessed the emergence of the modern Panhandle. A large 5th room displays chipped stone tools, grinding stones, pottery and other items used in the more ancient lifeways of Native Americans in the region.

See the stone for yourself on Poteau Mountain just outside the town's limits.
