Memorial On Line Library ~ Nebraska Map Selections

This atlas was originally printed and copy written in 1895 by the Rand McNally Corporation, called "The New 11 x 14 Atlas of the World". Although it contained maps of the countries of the world and the individual states of the United States at that time, it only contained an index for the United States. I have begun to scan the world maps which will eventually be placed as a link on the atlas. There are no indexes for the towns in the world portion, but perhaps the maps will help people.

If you are looking for a lost town shown on an old document, check this out to find all sorts of valuable information regarding your city or village.

Besides the data, I have also uploaded the actual maps from the Rand McNally 1895 Atlas of all of the states at that time and the District of Columbia for your research. I have re-enhanced the county sized maps since many visitors had difficulties downloading such large images as the state sized pieces. Also I have recently resized all of the maps of this atlas so they now load 90% or more faster in most cases.

Just interested in the research data and what the population was, if there was a post office, whether the railroad stopped there, what county was the town in, etc. for Nebraska towns? or just the 1895 state map of Nebraska?.....maybe you only need the individual state of Nebraska county maps that are listed alphabetically for the in 1895. These are easier to download than the entire state map which is a large jpg image.

This neat map show many of the wide open spaces that were part of the west at that time! The maps was Entered According to Act of Congress in the Year 1872 by S. Augustus Mitchell in the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington. I have split it into a number of different pieces so you can see each area depicted more easily.

Also I have recently resized all of the maps of this atlas so they now load 90% or more faster in most cases.

This map is from the Johnson's History of Nebraska Book, split into 4 quadrants for easier downloading.....though I have included the entire map in one piece for those who have lots of ram on their systems.

Why not read the entire book written in 1880 from which I pulled this map, Another of the books from my parents Memorial On-Line Library, this one was scanned and edited by Ted & Carole Miller of NEGenWeb . As you can see the library has just moved to its own url.

It has been brought to this webmaster's attention that a certain band of rogue "elves" have were busy over the 1998 holidays, and did major work to help with a new project for you all to look at.....I revamped the data a bit for easier searching, and there is a police investigation going on at the present regarding some of the data contained herein, but enjoy.....if you need information from other counties of Nebraska, go to my Chase NE site and there are links to NEGenWeb which will help you in you search. You can get to the entire 1890 Gaz through the link above this selection.

A student asked me for information regarding Railroad maps for a school report. He needed something from the northeast to "any" plains state, so I put up all of the railroad route maps. The funny thing is that this book was purchased originally for my Livingston County MI site as it said only the Great Lakes states on the cover, and then I found tons of data in there for lots of places!

I have finally added all of the thousands and thousands of names and business owners that did business with the various railroads listed in the 1891 Shippers Gaz that I uploaded the R.R. maps from some time ago. Also check out the indexes I have created for each individual R.R. section. The spelling was terrible, so check the entire letter of a name you are researching, as some names are spelled 3 and 4 different ways.

Also I have recently resized all of the maps of this gazetteer & the ads too, so they now load 90% or more faster in most cases.

The 1892 Gardiner's Atlas of English History

88 Maps including 20 maps of Historic Battles and while this does not really relate to Nebraska, you may want to check out maps of the countries from where the original pioneers of NE came from.

index may come someday, but all the surgeries have put this project on the back burner :((((....A is complete

1899 Indian Nations Map

Showing what the tribal lands once were.....I have divided this map into smaller sections for easier downloading, but have also left up a complete map for those with enough ram in their systems.

Also I have recently resized all of the maps of this project so they now load 90% or more faster in most cases.

This is a neat plat atlas that shows the area of Omaha Nebraska as it expanded in the mid 20th century. I did the best I could on an all name index, though some of the names were very difficult to read as the printing equipment they used was not very good. I made an all name index of all of the names in the ads & plat maps. Enjoy~
