These maps of early Nebraska were scanned from atlases published between 1850 and 1901. Note that all maps on this page have been digitally retouched after scanning and therefore differ from the originals. The maps are for provided for educational/informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for navigation, surveying, etc.
The files are provided below in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, in "Low Res" and "High Res" files. If you are a dial-up Internet user you will want to only attempt to download the "Low Res" files since the "High Res" files will be too large to download. Otherwise, if you are on a faster Internet connection you will want to select "High Res" files if image quality is a concern.
