I would not know the answer to your question unless I viewed that actual entry, but I would guess that the description was written in sloppy hand writing or it has been misread. Since there were no "counties" at that time in Oklahoma, then the only way that the census enumerator had to designate a specific location was by the legal description- Range and Township, and all of Indian Territory is so listed. I would suggest that you view the adjacent pages of the census and see if you can make those out better.
