The fourth stamp in the Scenic American Landscapes Series pictures the sweeping tall grasses of Nine Mile Prairie. Most of this 230-acre prairie north of Lincoln, Nebraska, has never been plowed. Owned by the University of Nebraska Foundation, it has been preserved for nature study, teaching, and research. The 70¢ stamp was issued in 2001 to pay the international postcard rate to countries other than Mexico and Canada.

Start Of Scenic American Landscapes Series
These stamps are part of the Airmail series. Airmail as its own separate service came to an end in 1977. After that time, airmail stamps were issued to pay international rates. After 1995, the USPS called these âinternational-rate stamps,â though they still said âAirmailâ on them.
