2017 Map of Midway

About this map

Midway sits at the southern edge of a landscape defined by the intersection of Hutchinson, Turner, and Yankton Counties. This agricultural region is punctuated by numerous small community burial grounds and churches that speak to the area's rural heritage, including the Zion Oswald Congregational Cem and Saron Reformed Cem. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage ways and seasonal water bodies such as Clay Cr, Mud Cr, and Smoky Run. Several lakes named for local families, including Guthmiller Lake and Ulmer Lake, provide distinctive landmarks amidst the surveyed grid of section roads like Stone Church Rd and Country Ln. The map reveals a high density of small cemeteries such as Salem Community Cem and Old Bethlehem Cem, reflecting the early spiritual and social centers of these prairie townships.
