1 map : 30 x 23 cm. <br>In September, 1883, the Northern Pacific completed its transcontinental railroad route, opening the northwest to easy emigration and settlement from the east. This map comes from a brochure published by the Northern Pacific and advertising the Pacific Northwest. <br>In order to get the Northern Pacific's transcontinental route completed, the United States government awarded the railroad large grants of land located close to its route. Alternating plots of land within 50 miles on either side of the track in Territories, and within 30 miles either to side in states were given to the NP. Hashed lines on this map designate the outer limits of the railroad's lands for sale.
