2017 Map of Vesta

About this map

The settlement of Vesta sits at the northern end of this agricultural landscape in Johnson County, serving as the primary hub for the surrounding rural area. Located just northwest of the town center, the Vesta Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research and local history. The topography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the prominent Yankee Creek and Turkey Cr, which are joined by numerous smaller tributaries such as Brewers Br, Sampson Br, and Lost Br. These streams carve through the terrain, creating the drainage patterns that have historically shaped the placement of farmsteads and the rectangular road grid. Along the southern border, the line between Johnson Co and Pawnee Co is marked by 720 Rd, illustrating the transition between these two Nebraska counties.
