Antique map titled 'Nebraska'. Original antique map of Nebraska, United States. This print originates from 'Encyclopaedia Britannica', Ninth Edition. Published 1884.

Several editions have been amended with multi-volume "supplements" (3rd, 5th/6th), consisted of previous editions with added supplements (10th, and 12th/13th) or gone drastic re-organizations (15th).

Nebraska Railroad Map 1888 ? Rand McNally Antique Lithograph This finely detailed map of Nebraska, published by Rand, McNally & Co. in 1888, provides an excellent overview of the state at a pivotal moment in its development. Produced during the great railroad expansion era, the map illustrates the rapidly growing network of rail lines crisscrossing the plains, helping to transform Nebraska from a frontier region into a thriving agricultural and transport hub. The map clearly shows counties, towns, settlements, railroads, rivers, and geographical features across the state. Major cities such as Omaha, Lincoln, and Grand Island are emphasized, while countless smaller towns and railway stations reflect the rapid pace of settlement. County divisions are neatly engraved, and the map captures both well-established areas in the east and the more sparsely settled western counties, such as Sioux, Sheridan, Cherry, and Dawes. Railroads dominate the landscape, with extensive red and blue lines marking the routes of the Union Pacific, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, and other key lines. These routes highlight Nebraska's central role in linking the Midwest with the western territories and the Pacific Coast. The Union Pacific's line running through North Platte and Kearney is particularly notable, as it formed a vital segment of the first transcontinental railroad. Equally striking are the references to Native American lands and agencies in northern Nebraska, including the Omaha and Winnebago Reservations, as well as connections across the Missouri River into Iowa and South Dakota. The presence of military forts, such as Old Fort Kearny and Fort Sidney just over the Colorado border, underlines the state's importance as a transportation corridor during the late 19th century. The map's precision reflects Rand, McNally & Co.'s growing reputation as one of America's leading map publishers. Its combination of railroad detail, county divisions, and settlement names makes it an invaluable resource for historians, genealogists, and collectors with an interest in the development of the Great Plains. For those tracing family roots or studying the history of Nebraska's transformation from frontier to statehood (achieved in 1867), this 1888 edition offers an authentic period perspective.
