About this map

The settlement of Midway sits at the center of this high plains landscape in Baca County, characterized by a precise grid of county roads that define the local agricultural layout. The N Fork Cimarron River cuts across the northwest corner of the survey, providing a rare riparian break in the surrounding tablelands. To the south, the terrain becomes more varied around Spring Canyon, where the elevation drops into drainage patterns that differ from the flat, cultivated sections to the north.

Genealogists and local historians will find the German Dunkard Cem particularly notable, located just south of the main settlement. This site serves as a physical connection to the early faith communities that established themselves in this corner of Colorado. The map meticulously traces the infrastructure of the era, from primary routes like Co RD 50 and Co RD M to the smaller sections of the Public Land Survey System that continue to shape property boundaries today.
