Featured in this lot is this Northern Pacific land grant Montana Map circa 1890. The map features the plot map of part of Montana and reads as follows: Map Showing Northern Pacific Land Grant in part of Montana Between Ranges 8 East and 15 West and TP. 20 North - scale 4 Miles to 1 inch - March 20, 1890. Abraham Lincoln signed the charters for the transcontinental railroads, creating the Union Pacific, the Northern Pacific, and Southern Pacific. Lincoln signed the Northern Pacific Railroad charter on July 2, 1864. The line ran from Duluth, MN, to Bismarck and on to Oregon. The government gave the railroad 46,000,000 acres of land to pay for construction. The railroad was given every other section, usually the odd-numbered sections in townships within a 40-mile corridor on either side of the railroad line. The railroad company sold the land east of the Missouri River for $4.00/acre and west of the Missouri River for $2.60/acre. The legend for this map titled, "Explanation", indicates Railroad Land Sold, Government Land Entered (Marked On Each 40 Acres), Wagon Road, Towns, Township & Section Lines That Have Not Been Surveyed, Springs, Affording Permanent Water For Stock.
