The city is nestled in a valley two miles from the banks of the Missouri River, a national recreational river.  The community is served by scenic State Highway 12, and U.S. Highway 20 is nine miles south of the community.  Ponca is 24 miles northwest of Sioux City, Iowa, and 115 miles north of Omaha, Nebraska.
