"Map of Kansas and Nebraska", General Land Office

A colorful and interesting map outlining the Railroad Grant Limits as authorized by Congress in 1864. Locates and names the A.T. & Santa Fe plus a branch, the Union Pacific and Omaha Branch Union Pacific railroads. Also noted are boundaries of numerous Indian Reservations, forts, watershed and survey progress. Legend and coloring locates railroad land grants, the 10, 20 & 25 miles limits, land offices and the Surveyor General's Office at Fort Leavenworth. A rarely seen issue.
