1964 Map of Skiddy

About this map

Skiddy sits at the northern edge of this Kansas landscape, where the wooded drainages of Clarks Creek and Mulberry Creek carve through the high ground. The terrain is defined by broad plateaus labeled Rolling Prairie, Overland, and Highland, illustrating the distinct upland character of this portion of the Morris County and Geary County line. The transportation network reveals a transition in rail history, showing the active Chicago Rock Island and Pacific line in the southeast while an Old Railroad Grade remains visible near the settlement of Skiddy. Genealogists will find several rural burial sites, including St Johns Cem, Clarks Creek Cem, and Latimer Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the early farmstead community. Evidence of local industry is sparse but present, noted by a lone Quarry situated among the draws and ridges.
