REFINE  Browse All : Composite Map and Railroad Survey by Everts & Co. 1-1 of 1 Atchison and Nebraska R... Composite: County maps ... 1887 Survey Map   Author [Atchison and Nebraska Railroad, Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad] 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.
