Explore Midway, Georgia, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Midway, Georgia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Georgia or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Midway.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Midway presents a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the red-clay piedmont, where the earth holds a deep, rusted hue that stains the tires of trucks and the hems of trousers alike. It lies 2.5 miles east of Douglasville, GA (from Douglasville, GA: bearing 82°T), and is situated 8.3 miles west-southwest of Mableton. The Little Anneewakee Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the surrounding woodland, its dark water moving with a slow, deliberate gravity that seems to measure the passage of the afternoon. Tall stands of longleaf pine dominate the horizon, their needles shivering in the humid air, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally asserts itself against the sky during the clearest hours of the day. Near the quiet waters of Shawnee Lake, the light at dusk turns a heavy, syrupy gold, catching the dust motes that hang suspended in the stillness above the tall, unkempt grasses.
Midway maintains a steady, internal pace, its character rooted in a history of agrarian labor and the slow transition from field to industry that defines much of the interior. The local economy relies on the steady rhythm of small-scale commerce and the seasonal yields of the surrounding acreage, where the scent of ripening pecans often lingers in the air during the harvest months. Residents find common ground at Beulah Ruritan Park, a space that serves as the quiet center of social life, hosting the gatherings and exchanges that keep the local connections vital. Life in Midway moves with a kind of stubborn, honest gravity, indifferent to the frantic speed of the modern world, preferring the reliable shade of a porch or the patient work of tending to the land as the seasons turn.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
