2021 Map of Midway

About this map

Midway sits at the southern edge of this landscape where the boundaries of Hutchinson, Turner, and Yankton counties meet. This prairie terrain is defined by a consistent section-line road grid, including 286th St and Stone Church Rd, which organizes a predominantly agricultural countryside. The map reveals a high density of rural religious and burial sites, suggesting a deeply rooted community history tied to specific denominational lineages. Notable sites include the Bethlehem Lutheran Church Cem, Zion Oswald Congregational Cem, and the Saron Reformed Cem. Water features such as Ulmer Lake and Guthmiller Lake interrupt the terrestrial grid, while Clay Cr and Smoky Run provide the primary drainage for these upland plains. The distribution of these family and community landmarks offers a clear view of the settlement patterns that established this part of South Dakota.
