Land concessions by acts of Congress to States and corporations for railroad and military wagon-road purposes from the year 1850 to June 30, 1891. a In the adjustment of this grant the road was treated as an entirety, and without reference to the State line; hence Alabama has had approved to her more and Mississippi less than they would appear to be entitled to in proportion to the length of the road in the respective States. b No evidence of the construction of this road, as required by the act, having been filed in the General Land Office, the grant is presumed to have lapsed, but the lands have not been restored to the public domain. e Certified lands footing 719, 193.79 acres were reconveyed to the United States by the governor of Louisiana, February 24, 1888. d Includes 35,685.49 acres of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad; 109,756.85 acres of the Cedar Rapids and Missouri River railroad, and 77,535.22 acres of the Dubuque and Sioux City railroad, situated in the old Des Moines river grant of August 8, 1846, which should be deducted from the foregoing amount.
