About this map

The Niobrara River carves a significant corridor through the northern edge of this landscape, defining the local geography with features like Pishelville Island. Small rural settlements such as Pishelville, Dukeville, and Jelen are connected by a precise grid of county roads, including 519 Ave and 886 Rd. The area is characterized by its agricultural water management, evidenced by several family-named impoundments like Vonasek Reservoir, Bartos Reservoir Number 2, and Farnik Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of National Cem and Riverview Cem particularly valuable for tracing early families in this part of Knox County. High ground is marked by prominent landmarks such as Stony Butte, while the drainage network is fed by numerous tributaries including Soldier Cr, Pishel Cr, and Schindler Cr. A large portion of the riverfront is protected as part of the Missouri National Recreational River, preserving the character of the waterway as it appeared in the early 21st century.
