Iowa Land Company
Map Of The Town Of Clinton
1855
Separate Map
Authors Iowa Land Company
Full Title Map Of The Town Of Clinton, Clinton County, Iowa. Augt. 1855. L.H. Bradford & Co's Lith Boston.
List No 2941.000
Note A large promotional map of an early Iowa river town. See Andrea Iowa Atlas, page 402 for the early history of Clinton. The Iowa Land Company speculated that the railroad crossing of the Mississippi would occur at Clinton's site and thus bring many settlers to the area. The Chicago, Iowa and Nebraska Railroad was formed in 1856 (Andreas) and the bridge, tracks and roundhouse are shown on the map, probably prospectively. This map was most likely used for promotion of land sales. Without color. Showing tract names and lot numbers.

1856
Separate Map
Authors Central Bluffs, Nebraska
Full Title Central Bluffs, Burt County, Nebraska. All lots in this City are 50x150 feet, the alleys are 15 feet wide, Spring Av. is 100 feet wide, Michigan & Ohio Avenues are 80 feet & all other Streets 66 feet. Leopold Gast & Brother Lith. St. Louis, Mo. Second Carondelet Avenue betw. Lafayette & Geier Avs. S.W. from City Hospital. (Inset Map) Topographical Sketch of a Portion of Nebraska Territory.
List No 4084.000
Note A promotional plat map for a city that never "got off the ground" (or map). At the top of the plat for the city is a park-like reserve titled "Golden Spring Reserve" and there is a vignette of an Indian sitting next to the Golden Spring. Central Bluffs does not appear on any other maps of the period, except for a very small settlement called "Golden Spring P.O." which shows in the Nebraska State atlas of 1885 - apparently the city never happened and the hapless early lot buyers became Golden Springs. The promotion was probably based on the expectation of a major railroad crossing the Missouri from Iowa and heading west (shown as the Nebraska Central Railroad and the Lyons and Iowa Central Railroad on the inset map) right through the proposed town. This route shows briefly in the late 1850's maps, then disappears, another railroad promotion that did not happen. And so went the city of Central Bluffs. Nearby and closer to the Missouri, a Central City appears briefly on some maps of the period, then also disappears. It may be related to this development. Map is without color.

List No 3274.000
Note Land sale promotion. Map shows railroad lands in red. Probably made specially by Colton for the railroad - this is not the atlas map (it is larger) and it has the simplicity of a railroad map - it shows the stations along the route which is delineated by a thick black line. The text promotes the wonders of Illinois for farming. Explanatory remarks includes Illinois population 1840-1860, School fund, and Central land sale. Prime meridian is Greenwich.
