2017 Map of Shickley

About this map

Shickley serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Fillmore County, where the street grid is clearly defined by routes like N Plum St and S Railroad St. The surrounding terrain is characterized by a series of depressions and water bodies, most notably Weis Lagoon and the winding course of Turkey Cr to the north. These features are indicative of the rainwater basin region, where seasonal wetlands provide critical habitat within the intensive farming sections of the plains. Historical continuity is marked by local landmarks such as the Shickley Cem just east of town and Zion Cem further north. To the east, the small settlement of Martland sits along the section lines, while Dry Sandy Cr cuts through the southern reaches of the quadrangle, illustrating the drainage patterns that define this part of the Nebraska prairie.
