Oktahutchee

Oktahutchee, a Muscogee name meaning “sandy river,” is the North Canadian River. It flows eastward across the southern Plains to meet the Canadian River, passing from open grasslands into a country of trees and river bottoms. Its course and tributaries drain a broad area of western and central Oklahoma, where seasonal changes in flow shape the sandy channel and the land along its banks.

The later city of Oklahoma City lies here.
