About this map

Yutan and Mead anchor this portion of Saunders County, where the agricultural grid of eastern Nebraska is defined by a dense network of county roads. The landscape is carved by the winding paths of Clear Cr and Johnson Cr, which drain toward the south and east. A significant water management feature, Johnson Cr Reservoir 22-A, appears in the central portion of the map, illustrating local efforts to control the prairie waterways.

For family historians, the presence of several well-established burial grounds provides critical genealogical data. Located throughout the rural sections are Morning Side Cem near Mead, Saint James Cem, Hollst Lawn Cem, and Parmenter Cem further east. These landmarks, along with the detailed street plans for the settlements of Yutan and Mead, offer a precise record of the community structure and land use in the early 21st century.
