1985 Map of Midway

About this map

Center School stands as a central landmark in this high plains landscape of eastern New Mexico, situated north of the Curry Co Roosevelt Co line. The terrain is defined by a sparse but essential network of groundwater access, marked by numerous wells scattered across the township sections. These water sources sustained the rural life and ranching operations of the mid-1980s. In the southern portion of the map, the small community of Midway sits near the base line, while the settlement of Cameo is positioned further north along the county boundary. The map illustrates a strictly surveyed grid of section lines and unimproved roads, reflecting the organized agricultural and ranching layout characteristic of the Llano Estacado region during this period.
