Looking for Doan's Crossing
Back in our Expedition to the Red we went looking for the Doan's Crossing marker, and could not find it. Recently in doing some research I may have found a lead to it in the Chronicles of Oklahoma.
(I've also started a discussion for this in our Facebook Group.)
Chronicles of Oklahoma, Volume 38 (1960) Pages 211-212: In Jackson County, southeast of Hess (1 mile east 4 miles south and 1/4 mile east) on section line road, south side of Sec. 36, T. 1 S., R. 20 W. Because of flood plain on Red River, this marker was placed here on high ground about 3 1/2 miles north and west of the actual crossing on the river.I used Google Maps to try and pinpoint where this could be.
The directions are from Elk City to Southeast of Hess. It's going to be a while before I can get down there, but I though I'd ask the community is this where the Doan's Crossing marker is?
