Clarke and sponsored by the First National Bank of Omaha, this pictorial map commemorates the centennial of Nebraska Territory established in May 1854. The composition traces the Mormon, Oregon, Ox Bow, and California trails alongside the routes of the Lewis and Clark, Mallet Brothers, and Long expeditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 organized the vast territory stretching from the Missouri River to the Rocky Mountains, opening the region to settlement and igniting fierce national debate over the expansion of slavery. Thousands of emigrants had already crossed these plains by wagon train, following river corridors westward toward Oregon, California, and the Mormon settlements at the Great Salt Lake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthenticated by the Nebraska State Historical Society, the map identifies dozens of historic sites across the state with an accompanying index and descriptive text. An inset shows the original territorial boundaries as drawn in 1854, encompassing lands that would eventually form parts of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and the Dakotas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis reproduction provides insight into the trails, expeditions, and frontier outposts that shaped one of America's most storied western territories. Considered among the finest centennial commemorative maps of the era, it brings frontier heritage to any office, study, or living room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"16x24 Inch","offer_id":67721355165885,"sku":"ENMAP0820_1624L","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 Inch","offer_id":67721355198653,"sku":"ENMAP0820_2436L","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/14XLyQ2HCH6a0fYlRdAYl2QaNcYSMktdV_w1000.jpg?v=1791603156","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1854-nebraska-territory-centennial-map-print","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
