The Treaty with the Choctaw and Chickasaw, 1837, Jan 17, referred to as the Treaty of Doaksville, having been signed there, contained reference to the boundaries of the Chickasaw district of the Choctaw Nation.

Due to disputes concerning the boundaries the Treaty with the Choctaw and Chickasaw of 1854 was to settle the matter. ARTICLE 1 of this treaty states:

the Chickasaw district of the Choctaw nation shall be bounded as follows, viz: Beginning on the north bank of the Red River, at the mouth of Island Bayou, where it empties into the Red River, about twenty-six miles on a straight line, below the mouth of False Wachitta, thence running a northwesterly course, along the main channel of said bayou to the juntion of three prongs of said bayou nearest the dividing ridge between Wachitta and Low Blue rivers, as laid down upon Capt. R. L. Hunter's map; thence, northerly along the eastern prong of Island Bayou to its source; thence, due north to the Canadian River, thence west, along the main Canadian, to one hundred degrees of west longitude; thence south to Red River, and down Red River to the beginning: Provided, however, if the line running due north from the eastern source of Island Bayou to the main Canadian shall not include Allen's or Wa-pa-nucka academy within the Chickasaw district, then an offset shall be made from said line so as to leave said academy two miles within the Chickasaw district, north, west, and south from the lines of boundary.
