About this map

The University of Nebraska Field Laboratory dominates the central and southern portions of this landscape, reflecting a significant post-war transition from military use to academic research. Much of this land occupies the former US Military Reservation, with the Reservation Boundary still clearly delineated. The grid system of the Nebraska National Guard Training Area is visible alongside civilian settlements like Mead and Yutan.

Transportation patterns are defined by the convergence of the Union Pacific and Burlington railroads, which served these agricultural communities. Genealogists will find several rural burial sites, including Morning Side Cem, St James Cem, Holst-Lawn Cem, and Parmenter Cem, scattered among the drainages of Silver Creek and Clear Creek. The area is further organized by township boundaries such as Marietta, Union, and Marble.
