1961 Map of Midway

About this map

Midway (Sedalia PO) anchors this early 1960s agricultural survey, situated within the unique historical geography of the Virginia Military District. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the North Fork Paint Creek and East Fork Paint Creek, where the small settlement of Yatesville sits just north of the Union Chapel. Local family history is etched into the terrain through several scattered burial grounds, including Bethel Cem, Counts Cem, and Vesey Cem. This area of Madison and Fayette counties maintains a strictly rural character, with the township of Range and various small creeks like Cheneweth Creek and Thompson Creek connected by a dense network of early roads such as Chillicothe Road and Foster Redman Road. Unlike much of the surrounding region, this map also depicts several prominent industrial pipelines cutting across the northern farmsteads.
