1954 Map of Midway
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Midway serves as the central hub of this Bluegrass region survey, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts through a landscape defined by the winding paths of North Elkhorn Creek and South Elkhorn Creek. This 1950s study, updated with late-1970s revisions, reveals a sophisticated network of early transit routes including the Ironworks Pike and Old Frankfort Road. Social and spiritual anchors of the community are evident in the presence of the St Francis Mission, Zebulah Ch, and the Orphans Sch. Smaller settlements and stops such as Spring Station, Davistown, and White Sulphur illustrate the dense rural population during this era. The map traces several county boundaries, illustrating how Scott Co, Woodford Co, and Franklin Co converge among the fertile ridges and creek bottoms.
