About this map

Ponca serves as a focal point in Dixon County where the Nebraska bluffs meet the expansive Missouri River valley. This 2014 survey captures the landscape at a point where the Missouri National Recreational River corridor preserves the natural character of the waterway as it forms the state boundary with South Dakota. The town's layout is clearly defined, with streets like N Nebraska St and N Court St radiating from the center, while the Ponca Cem sits atop the higher ground to the north.

Several smaller waterways and water management features are documented, including Aowa Cr, Badger Cr, and the Schulke Reservoir. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, most notably at Lookout Hill, which offers a vantage point over the river valley. The map also delineates the convergence of Dixon, Dakota, and Union counties, providing a precise record of these political boundaries in relation to the meandering river and the local rural road network.
