Summary

  • Proposed route for the First Transcontinental Railroad.
  • The map is entitled Map of the Land Grant of the Kansas Pacific Railway, from Kansas City, Mo. to Denver Col. T.. It was made in 1869 by Henry Seibert & Bros. The original map is 28 x 40 cm. In addition to the rail line, the map shows Native American habitation and bison ranges. The line between Kansas City (east) and Denver (west) is separated into the two sections (the western extension to Colorado was built in 1879, several years after the eastern section). The coloration indicates the extent of the land grants on either side of the rail line.
