  • The First Guide Meridian East
    THE FIRST GUIDE MERIDIAN EAST By Jerry Penry Forward The limestone monument located at the intersection of the First Guide Meridian East and the Base Line (Kansas-Nebraska State Line) of the Sixth Principal Meridian Surveys is at an important location since it was the beginning point where the first government surveyed line extended north into Nebraska and south into Kansas. Unlike other guide meridians, the First Guide Meridian East was surveyed on a true meridian or line of longitude its entire length just like a principal meridian. There are no correction lines at the standard parallels. It preceded the establishment of the Initial Point and Sixth Principal Meridian by a full year which formed the basis from which all surveys in Kansas and Nebraska are now referenced north and south by townships and east and west by ranges. The First Guide Meridian East was the most important surveyed line in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska in 1855 and from this the standard parallels, township lines, and section lines were established east from it to the Missouri River and the eastern border of Kansas further south. The remonumentation and dedication of this corner commemorates both its location and the two United States deputy surveyors, Charles A. Manners and Joseph Ledlie, who placed it exactly 150 years ago on June 24, 1855. The recognition and honor that is hereby given to both men has been long overdue. The United States Congress established the territories of Kansas and Nebraska on May 30, 1854, through a bill known as the Kansas-Nebraska Act signed by President Franklin Pierce.
