About this piece

Nebraska in a color-printed county map titled "Nebraska", from the Ninth Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, published in 1884. The sheet is engraved and printed in color, with the settled counties of the east in tints of pink, green and yellow and the western part of the state in pale outline.

The map shows the state with the Missouri River along the eastern border against Iowa and the Platte River running across the middle of the sheet. Dakota and Wyoming lie to the north and northwest, Colorado to the southwest and Kansas to the south. The counties of the east are small and closely packed, many with their county seats and railroads marked, while the western counties are huge and sparsely lettered, a reminder of how recently that part of the state had been settled. The Pine Ridge and other agency names appear in the north, and a scale of miles is printed in the lower left.

The sheet records Nebraska at the height of the settlement boom of the 1880s, with the Union Pacific line running along the Platte valley.
