About this map

Midway and its neighboring villages in Washington County are defined by a complex network of waterways that once powered the local economy. The landscape is deeply incised by Raccoon Creek and Cherry Valley, with numerous small hamlets like Joffre, Hickton, and Primrose situated along the winding valley floors and ridges. Transportation history is visible in the corridor of the Panhandle Trl, which follows the path of an older railroad line through the northern part of the quadrangle.

Several hilltop cemeteries, including Mount Pleasant Cem and Mount Prospect Cem near Hickory, serve as significant landmarks for genealogists tracing early families in the region. The map also captures the transition from industrial and mining roots to contemporary land use, featuring specialized sites like the Cataney Airport and the distinct settlement patterns of Westland and Southview along Millers Run and Chartiers Run.
