Missing marker fuels old border dispute in Fort Smith
Poteau Oklahoma county assessor Robin White says a 1858 border marker once marking the Doaks Stand treaty line has vanished a mile south of Fort Smith courthouse. He argues Oklahoma owns the land now 13 blocks of downtown Fort Smith, Arkansas, and cites treaties, Kennedy era deeds, and later boundary changes as basis. White reports no action has been taken by state leaders to reclaim the land.
