Note:
A set of 24 hand-drawn and colored maps showing the route of the proposed Atchison and Nebraska Railroad in northern Kansas and southern Nebraska, just west of the Missouri River. Many annotations in pencil list the land owners of parcels the proposed railroad line goes through and the cost per acre under sale contract. There are also notes on sheet 8 on the Condemnation of land for an owner who will not sell. The line appears to have been built approximately according to the drawings although in some areas the route was changed - this is based on comparing the routes shown on the 1887 county maps. The set of maps provides a detailed record of how land was secured for the railroads and how the lines were surveyed. View in Google Earth https://rumsey3.s3.

Pub Note:
We have 1-21 (lacking map 4),21a,27,28,29. We use the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad archive numbering which begins with P-2015-00-(Page number) for maps 21, 27, 28, and 29 since the maps themselves are not numbered. The maps have numbers in the map itself, which are usually 1 digit different from the version number by the Railroad archive. The last four maps in the series, 21,27,28,29, increase scale to 1:800 The date is estimated based on the paper watermarks and the historical record of the A & N Railroad. Paper is J. Whatman watermarked with dates from 1859 to 1872.
