The Cherokee Strip Mural is 13' by 52' and "portrays two Cherokee representing the deep Cherokee heritage; cattle herd to represent the Cowboys leasing and renting the Cherokee Strip Land; a surveyor representing the mapping of the land for pioneer settlement; and families, horses, and wagons in a cloud of dust to represent the start of the Cherokee Strip Run."
