1978 Map of Midway

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Midway serves as the central point for this section of Rawlins County, Kansas, where the high plains landscape is defined by the townships of Herndon, Union, and Laing. The map reveals a deeply rooted immigrant history through its religious and funerary landmarks, specifically documenting the Swedish Baptist Cem, Swedish Lutheran Cem, and the Mission Covenant Ch. These sites, along with the Covenant Cem, suggest a community structure built around distinct denominational clusters in the late 1970s. The terrain is characterized by the drainage of Lambs Draw and several intermittent water sources like Spring. While agriculture remains the primary footprint, the presence of an Oil Well and other wells indicates the diversification of the local economy into resource extraction.
