2009 Map of Midway

About this map

Midway serves as the central point for this section of Rawlins County, situated at a junction where the high plains are carved by the subtle drainage of Lambs Draw. This landscape preserves the spiritual and ancestral roots of the local community through three distinct religious burial grounds: the Swedish Baptist Cemetery, the Swedish Lutheran Cemetery, and the Covenant Cemetery. These sites reflect the early 20th-century ethnic and denominational settlement patterns common to Western Kansas. The map captures a transition period in the early 21st century where the grid of county roads, such as Co RD 36 and Co RD N, continues to define the agricultural organization of the land, connecting scattered homesteads to the small community hub and the natural contours of the draws.
