About this map

Monowi stands as a focal point of this northern Nebraska landscape, situated near the winding course of Ponca Creek. The geography is defined by its significant waterways, with the Missouri River skirting the northeastern corner and the Niobrara River flowing through the southern reach. The drainage patterns between these rivers are marked by tributaries such as Red Otter Creek and Steel Creek, which carve through the plains.

For those researching local heritage, the map identifies specific points of interest including Beulah Cemetery in the northwest and Alford Cemetery to the south. The presence of Flanders Dam along the Missouri River adds a modern hydrological element to this rural Boyd County survey. A grid of county roads, including 512 Ave and 897 RD, provides the framework for navigating the agricultural terrain that surrounds the tiny settlement of Monowi.
