1929 Map of Skedee

About this map

The Arkansas River winds in dramatic loops across this landscape, serving as the primary boundary between Osage Co and Pawnee Co. At a time when the river dominated local transit and industry, the East Bend Ferry provided a critical crossing point near Souters Bend, while the Ralston Pumping Sta indicates the region's early infrastructure development. The settlement pattern is defined by rural education, with a high density of country schools such as North Enterprise Sch, Buena Vista Sch, and Sorghum Point Sch serving the farming families of the Fairfax and Jordan Valley districts.
