2010 Map of Midway

About this map

Midway occupies a central position within this section of the High Plains in Baca County, characterized by a rigorous grid of section lines and agricultural access routes. The North Fork Cimarron River cuts across the northwestern corner of the quadrangle, while the southern reaches are defined by the winding course of Spring Canyon. This landscape is primarily organized by an extensive network of rural thoroughfares, including County Road M and County Road S, which facilitate movement across the open plains. The sparse distribution of named features suggests a region dedicated to large-scale ranching or farming, where the natural drainage of the river and canyon provide the primary breaks in the otherwise geometric survey of the land.
