1978 Map of Midway NE

About this map

The Cimarron River cuts through the northern reaches of this High Plains landscape, where the state line divides the rural expanses of Colorado and Kansas. This late 1970s survey documents a region defined by energy extraction and remote infrastructure, specifically within the Baca and Morton County borderlands. The map reveals an extensive network of pipelines, numerous Gas Wells, and Oil Wells that fueled the local economy. In the eastern townships of Westola and Jones, scattered landmarks like the Taloga School and a Radio Tower provide rare points of human assembly. A remote Landing Strip and multiple Pumping Stations further illustrate the specialized industrial character of this prairie environment during a period of active resource development.
