Lone Tree on the California Trail and its Monument
A giant cottonwood once stood near the continental center of the United States in Nebraska. It served as a landmark for thousands of forty-niners traveling to the Eldorado of the Pacific along the old California trail from 1848 onward. After the Union Pacific railway's completion the tree decayed, and a monument was erected in 1810 marking the site with an inscription honoring the Lone Tree.
