2016 Map of Halfway

About this map

Halfway serves as a central point in this high-plains landscape of Hale County, defined by a rigid grid of agricultural roads and scattered playa-like depressions. The rural character of the area is underscored by the presence of private aviation facilities like Smith Farms Airport and Laney Farm Airport, which dot the expansive landscape alongside numerous farm-to-market routes. Running Water Draw provides the primary topographic variation in the northeast corner, cutting across the otherwise level terrain. Genealogists and local historians will find the Halfway Cem situated just east of the main settlement, a quiet landmark in a region dominated by large-scale farming operations. The layout of county roads, such as Co RD 70 and Co RD 100, reflects a highly organized land-use pattern typical of the Texas Panhandle during this mid-2010s period.
