2012 Map of Halfway

About this map

Halfway serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Hale County, where the geometric precision of the High Plains is evident in the grid of county roads. The importance of local aviation and agricultural science is highlighted by several private facilities, including Buddy Harmel Airport, Smith Farms Airport, and the Laney Farm Airport in the south. The presence of the High Plains Research Foundation near the town center underscores the region's commitment to industrial-scale farming and land management. Cultural and genealogical history is anchored at the Halfway Cem, located just east of the primary settlement. The transportation network is defined by state-managed routes such as Farm-To-Market Road 1071 and Ranch Road 1070, which facilitate the movement of goods through this sparsely populated but highly organized prairie.
