About this map

The Missouri National Recreation River and the Niobrara Wild and Scenic River converge in this northeast Nebraska landscape, defining a complex riparian corridor. The settlement of Niobrara sits at the northern edge, near the Leau Qui Court Cem, while the smaller community of Ponca is located further west along 889 RD. This 2021 survey shows a rural interior marked by local water management and agricultural drainage, including the Morrison Canal and the Paesl Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds, such as Saint Johns Cem near Ponca and Hillcrest Cem to the south. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous drainages, including Schindler Cr, Bingham Cr, and Burgess Cr, which feed into the primary river systems. The map preserves the modern section line road grid, from 521st Ave to 888th Rd, illustrating the persistent layout of these Knox County townships.
