2010 Map of Key

About this map

Midway Cemetery stands as a quiet landmark in the southern reaches of this Dawson County landscape, surrounded by the industrial infrastructure of the West Spraberry Oil Field. This 2010 survey illustrates a grid of rural ranch roads, including Ranch Rd 827 and Ranch Rd 178, that define the region's agricultural and energy-driven layout. The small settlement of Key and the community of Midway serve as focal points for the local population, connected by a network of lettered and numbered county roads such as Co Rd J and Co Rd 25. The drainage of Gold Creek in the southeast corner provides a rare hydraulic feature in this largely dry, managed terrain, where the economy is clearly split between traditional ranching and petroleum extraction.
