Note:
This edition adds an unusual, uncolored "Western Extension..." on the same scale as the main map, showing the route of the Union Pacific railroad to the Wyoming border. Although the extension is copyrighted 1865, Karrow does not show it included with the main map until the 1873 edition. On the main map, compared to the 1870 issue, several new counties are named in the western parts of the state, as well as new railroads. Full color by county, folded into stamped dark brown cloth covers 15.5x10 with "Sectional Map Of Nebraska And Part Of Dakota G.W. & C.B. Colton & Co." stamped in gilt. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C.
