CHAPTER I.
GEOGRAPHY, TOPOGRAPHY, CLIMATE, GEOLOGY, SOIL, NATURAL RESOURCES, IRRIGATION, ETC.
C OMPRISING as it does an area larger by 14,259 square miles than all of New Eng- land, the state of Nebraska is justly entitled to the important position it holds among the sister states of the republic. Twice the size of Ohio, larger in area by many thousand square miles than England and Wales combined, Nebraska in area is an empire.
The position occupied by Nebraska is quite near the center of the United States. The paral- lel of forty degrees bounds it on the south, and the Missouri river is its eastern and northern boundary until the forty-third degree parallel is reached. This parallel then constitutes the north- ern boundary until the west line of the state, on the twenty-seventh degree of west longitude, is reached. The western boundary of the state fol- lows the twenty-seventh degree of longitude west from Washington south until the forty-first de- gree of north longitude is reached. It then fol- lows the forty-first degree of longitude east to a point formed by its intersection with the twenty- fifth degree of longitude west from Washington; then south to the fortieth degree of north lati- tude. This, it will be seen, takes quite a notch, approximately 7,300 square miles, out of the state. If it were not for this off-set, the state would approximate the shape of a parallelogram. The extreme width of the state from north to south is 208.5 miles, and its length from east to west is approximately 413 miles. Previous to 1882 the 2
area of the state was almost 75,995 square miles. In that year, by act of congress, the northern boundary was straightened, which added approx- imately 900 square miles to its territory, giving a present area of 76,895 square miles, or 49,212,000 acres. In the heart of the great union, grouped among the greatest states of the commonwealth, directly in the great center of the nation's wealth, Nebraska has received the overflow from the east, and blessed them with plenty. And its loca- tion, combined with its climate and natural re- sources, have made its settlement, growth and development so rapid as to place it among the greatest states in the union in a time so short as to be within the memory of the present genera- tion.
