These four maps were published by the little-known H.R. Page & Co. firm of Chicago. County development is shown in attractive full hand color, which is uncommon for this late date. Each map is filled with details including railroads, roads, cities, towns, forts, and more. At this point in time, all states had been fully surveyed via the Public Land Survey System. In Nebraska, however, development is still confined to the eastern portion of the state, with a few non-county areas in the west.
