Settlers Win Land Rights Over Railroad in Supreme Court Ruling
The U S Supreme Court under Justice Harlan held that settlers hold better title to unsurveyed land within the Northern Pacific grant than the railroad. The case involved Paul and Henry Nelson who located land in Washington Territory in 1881 after the railroad mapped its proposed location. Congress controls lands within the grant, and the decision curtails railroad claims.
