Skedee

Oklahoma's ghost towns got it from both sides — oil booms that built them overnight and the Dust Bowl that emptied them.

Skedee is a town in Pawnee County, Oklahoma, United States. Skedee is northwest of Tulsa, northeast of Stillwater, and southeast of Ponca City. The population was 62 at the time of the 2020 Census, a 21.6% increase from the figure of 51 recorded in the 2010 Census.

The on-the-ground condition of Skedee is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Skedee is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times. The mapped point for Skedee is roughly 36.3806, -96.7039 — use it as a starting point and cross-reference a current topographic map before leaving pavement.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
