About this map

The Nodaway River defines the western edge of this agricultural landscape in northwest Missouri, where the community of Skidmore sits at a crossroads of county routes. This 2014 survey documents a region deeply rooted in its local history and family lineages, evidenced by several established burial grounds including Masonic Cemetery, Smith Cemetery, and Hillcrest Cemetery. The township grid is etched into the terrain by a network of numbered and named roads such as Eagle Rd and Empire Rd, which navigate the various drainage basins of Florida Creek and Bagby Creek.

Further north, the small settlement of Quitman overlooks the river valley near Bowman Br. The map also captures the administrative boundary of Nodaway Co Holt Co at the southern margin, providing a precise record of property lines and rural infrastructure. Local historians and genealogists can trace the spatial relationship between the town centers and the surrounding farmsteads that have shaped this portion of the county for generations.
