Description:

|
| Large map of Nebraska drawn by A.F. Dinsmore for the General Land Office for use in the distribution of public lands. The state is divided according to the Rectangular Survey System which was mandated by law in 1785. Townships of 6x6 mile squares were measured and then further subdivided into smaller parcels of 1x1 mile (640 acres). Proposed and completed railroads are marked. Original colour. [USA6663] |
