1899 Map of St. Paul

About this map

St. Paul serves as the focal point for this late 19th-century survey of Nebraska's fertile central valleys. Located at the confluence of the North Fork Loup River and the Loup River, the town appears as a key rail junction where the Burlington and Missouri River R. R. meets the local lines. The landscape is defined by the broad, braided channels of the Loup and the Platte River, which dictate the placement of early settlements like Central City and Chapman.
