2012 Map of Midway

About this map

Midway sits at a geographic crossroads in Rawlins County, appearing here as a quiet rural junction defined by its grid of country roads and sparse settlements. The cultural history of this Kansas landscape is clearly visible through its denominational burial grounds, including the Swedish Baptist Cem and the Swedish Lutheran Cem. These sites, along with the Covenant Cem, speak to the specific ethnic and religious heritage of the immigrant families who settled this portion of the Great Plains. The map traces the winding paths of seasonal creek beds that cut through the surveyed sections, illustrating the relationship between the natural drainage of the land and the rigid lines of agricultural development.
