The Kansas-Nebraska Act of May 30, 1854, created the territories of Nebraska and Kansas, to be surveyed before settlement of the prairies could proceed. On May 8, 1855, Charles A. Manners set a cast-iron monument at 40° north latitude and then surveyed west from the monument 108 miles establishing the base-line. This was the boundary of Kansas and Nebraska and at the 6th Principal Meridian, the Initial Point was established. This Initial Point, a red sandstone which lies under a manhole cover controls the system of sections, townships and ranges of public land surveys in Nebraska, Kansas and parts of Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota. This Initial Point is referenced in all ownership records throughout the system.
