About this map

The village of Mead and its agricultural surroundings in Saunders County are the focus of this 2011 survey. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of county roads that organize the Nebraska prairie into productive parcels, anchored by the University of Nebraska Field Lab which occupies a significant portion of the central terrain. This institutional presence contrasts with the traditional settlement patterns seen at the eastern edge of the map in Yutan.

Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the Johnson Creek Reservoir 22-A and its accompanying Johnson Creek Dam 22-A, which regulate the flow of Johnson Creek. Several local burial grounds, including Morning Side Cemetery, Saint James Cemetery, Hollist-Lawn Cemetery, and Parmenter Cemetery, are distributed across the landscape, providing essential touchpoints for genealogical research and local history. The map also identifies the primary civic hubs with the Mead Post Office and Yutan Post Office.
