1973 Map of Midway

About this map

The town of Midway sits at the junction of rail and road in the southeastern Alabama countryside, defined by a landscape of creek valleys and historic boundaries. This 1970s survey captures the area as the Central of Georgia railroad cut through the terrain, connecting the settlement to Three Notch in the northwest. A notable historical feature is the Indian Treaty Boundary, which runs diagonally across the quadrangle, marking an older era of land division. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous rural burial sites and congregations such as Peniel Cem, Mt Azure Ch, and Fellowship Cem. To the east, the terrain transitions into the Barbour County State Wildlife Management Area, while the Pea River and Bluff Creek drain the surrounding hills, reflecting a region where timber and small-town commerce remained central to local life.
