About this map

Midway and the surrounding farmland of southern Madison County are defined by a grid of rural roads and an intricate network of drainage and creek systems. This 2016 survey shows a landscape heavily managed for agriculture, where man-made waterways like William Cathcart Ditch, Vallery Ditch, and Brock Ditch supplement the natural flow of the East Fork Paint Creek.

Settlement patterns remain concentrated in small hamlets such as Range, Yatesville, and Bethel. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for identifying localized burial sites that dot the countryside, including Counts Cem near the junction of Washington-London Rd and Union Chapel Cem further south. The boundary between Madison Co and Fayette Co cuts through the lower half of the quadrangle, illustrating how these jurisdictional lines interact with the local road network and the meandering course of Compton Cr.
