2012 Map of Midland

About this map

The settlement of Midland serves as a central point in this northern Douglas County landscape, situated just north of the Kansas River. The area is defined by its rural road network and several significant watercourses, including the winding path of Mud Cr and Ninemile Cr. To the northeast, State Lake provides a notable landmark, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Lawrence Municipal Airport, showing the intersection of local aviation and the surrounding countryside. Genealogists and local historians will find the Hardy Oak Cem in the northwestern corner, a small but vital link to the area's early family history. The terrain transitions from the river valley into upland fields partitioned by routes such as Union Rd and State Ave, reflecting the enduring agricultural and transportation patterns north of Lawrence.
