About this map

Monowi is the central settlement in this portion of Boyd County, positioned between the waters of Ponca Creek to the north and the Niobrara River to the south. The landscape is defined by the intersection of three major protected waterways: the Missouri National Recreation River, the Missouri Wild and Scenic River, and the Niobrara Wild and Scenic River. These rivers create a complex system of bluffs and drainage basins, including tributaries like Red Otter Cr and Steel Cr.

For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Beulah Cem and Alford Cem provides a physical record of the early inhabitants of these prairie townships. The map documents the boundary lines of Boyd, Knox, and Holt counties, showing the spatial relationship of these rural communities as they appeared in 2021. The transport network remains focused on local routes such as Grant St and various section roads like 897 Rd and 894 Rd.
