Maps of Nebraska
This site endeavors to provide information regarding the history and development of the area delineated as Nebraska, whether as an unorganized region, a territory, or, as now, a state. Part of the site also answers questions about Nebraska as it is today. I collect old, rare, and/or antique maps both for personal research and as "artifacts" in classroom, museum, and community presentations. All material, including images, on this site is for free public use.
