Somewhere in Oklahoma on I-40

Lots of folks, including some of that area's natives, say it was an Indian name from pre-white man days.
Not so, says Kitty Garrett, who reports her late husband, Don, thought up the name while working on a highway drafting squad that was planning signs to go along the then-new I-40.
When Don's crew got to that road, he could see that it "didn't go much of anywhere except down to the water," Kitty says. "Don just thought up that name and wrote it on the map, thinking someone would find a more-proper name before signs were made and installed."
But no one made any change, so the signs were made and installed. It wasn't a bit of Indian folklore but rather an Oklahoma Highway Department official who named Lotawatah Road.
