About this map

Midway and Key anchor this portion of the Texas South Plains, where the landscape is defined by an extensive grid of agricultural section lines and rural county roads. Located in Dawson County, the area is characterized by the broad, shallow drainage of Sulphur Springs Draw cutting across the southwestern corner and Gold Cr in the southeast. The settlement of Midway includes the Midway Cem, providing a focal point for local genealogical research and family history.

Transport is central to the area's layout, with US Highway 180 and US Highway 87 providing major arterial access alongside established routes like Ranch Rd 178 and Ranch Rd 827. The presence of the Benny White Flying Airport in the northern section highlights the importance of aerial utility in this vast farming region. This map provides a clear record of the rural infrastructure and land divisions that have sustained these communities into the early 21st century.
