2010 Map of Skime

About this map

Skime sits in a landscape defined by the drainage of the South Fork Roseau River, where a grid of rural roads connects remote homesteads and local landmarks. The settlement pattern here is characterized by sparse development along routes like County Hwy-9 and County Hwy-18, reflecting the agricultural and conservation-focused character of Roseau County. Local genealogy and community history are anchored by the presence of Bethesda Cemetery and Reine Cemetery, both situated amidst the open fields north of the river. To the north, the Hayes Lake Dam manages water levels where the Roseau River begins to wind through the northern reaches of the quadrangle, illustrating the importance of water management in this low-lying Minnesota terrain.
