2019 Map of Skime

About this map

Skime marks the primary settlement in this northern Minnesota landscape where the counties of Roseau, Marshall, and Beltrami converge. The terrain is defined by the hydrologic network of the Roseau River and the S Fork Roseau River, which meander through a region characterized by extensive wetlands and sections of the Public Land Survey System. Genealogical interest is centered on the Bethesda Cem located along Co Rd 18 and the Reine Cem further north, which serve as long-standing landmarks for the local community. The grid of forest and county roads, including Winner Forest Rd and Co Hwy 1, facilitates movement through this low-lying territory where section lines and range boundaries like T159N R38W dictate the organization of the land.
