The classic map of Nebraska and Kanzas. First edition of this steel engraving with Colton's decorative borders. Nebraska here includes present-day Dakotas, Wyoming and part of Colorado. Kansas includes part of present-day Colorado. Excellent details of topography, watershed and major towns. Extends to show Minnesota and part of Iowa. A very fine example that looks better than the condition report indicates.
