About this map

The Niobrara River winds through this section of Knox County, defining a landscape of braided channels and riparian islands such as Pishelville Island. Small rural settlements like Pishelville, Dukeville, and Jelen anchor the upland plateaus, which are gridded by a network of rural roads including 890 Rd and 515 Ave. The map reflects a localized water management system characterized by private or agricultural impoundments, most notably Haineraich Reservoir, Vonasek Reservoir, and Farnik Reservoir, each supported by their respective dams.

Genealogists and local historians can locate Riverview Cemetery positioned on the bluffs overlooking the river valley. The terrain is marked by distinct landmarks like Stony Butte and the winding course of Soldier Creek, while the northeastern corner includes portions of Niobrara State Park, highlighting the transition from working agricultural lands to protected natural spaces along the river corridor.
