About this map

Midway and the surrounding rural landscape of the Ozark and Baxter county line are captured here during a period of transition in the mid-1960s, with updates reflecting the early 1980s. The geography is defined by the high-water marks of Bull Shoals Lake and Norfork Lake, which flank the central ridges. These artificial reservoirs altered the local drainage, affecting creeks such as Howard Creek and Pigeon Creek.

Settlement patterns remain focused on small upland communities like Three Brothers and Arkawana, where social life centered around the Three Brothers Ch and Liberty Ch. Family history is deeply rooted in the landscape through numerous burial grounds, including Corley Cem, Walker Cem, and Oakland Cem. The map also details local industry and landmarks, ranging from a Mine and Quarry to a Trailer Park and Substation, illustrating the post-war development of this border region between Missouri and Arkansas.
