Judge Poe rules against state in Turkey Island case
A Pawnee court decision ends Oklahoma state claims to the Arkansas River island land in a land dispute with homesteaders and oil firms. Judge Poe holds the river not navigable at issue and declares Osage and state interests void, preserving sand and gravel leases for private parties. The ruling, likely final until a higher court acts, allows ongoing extraction.
