About this map

Midway and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Madison Co and Fayette Co are defined by a complex network of drainage ditches and winding creeks. This 2019 survey captures the rural character of the area where William Cathcart Ditch, Valley Ditch, and Brock Ditch support the intensive farming required by the flat Ohio terrain. These man-made channels feed into the larger natural waterways like N Fork Paint Cr and East Fork Paint Creek.

Genealogists can trace several small, localized burial grounds including Counts Cem, Vesey Cem, and Range Cem, which mark the early footprints of the community near settlements like Range and Bethel. The proximity of Union Chapel Cem to Yatesville suggests the historical importance of the church as a social anchor. The intersection of modern infrastructure and legacy farming is evident where Interstate 71 cuts through traditional tracts formerly accessed by Charleston-Chillicothe Rd and the Washington-London Rd.
