About this map

The Missouri River corridor in Knox County defines this landscape, where the Missouri National Recreation River and Niobrara Wild and Scenic River converge. This survey documents a rural environment centered on the river's braided channels and the prominent Pishelville Island. Small rural settlements and crossroads like Pishelville, Dukeville, and Jelen serve as the primary human landmarks among the winding drainage of Pishel Cr and Soldier Cr.

Land use is characterized by livestock and agriculture, signaled by the Lightner Ranch Airport and several private water features including Vonasek Reservoir and Bartos Reservoir Number 2. Local history is preserved at the Riverview Cem overlooking the river bluffs, while the terrain rises toward Stony Butte in the south, illustrating the transition from the river valley to the dissected uplands of northern Nebraska.
