How to Use This Midway, North Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Midway, North Carolina. 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 North Carolina 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.

About Midway, North Carolina

Midway is located at 35.9751°N, 80.2204°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Midway is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 27320, 28681, 28382.

Midway asserts its presence as a low-lying expanse where the damp, heavy air of the Atlantic Ocean carries the faint, salt-crusted scent of the tides inland across the flat horizon. It lies 18.0 miles southwest of Myrtle Grove, NC (from Myrtle Grove, NC: bearing 232°T), and is situated 4.3 miles north-northeast of Oak Island. River Swamp carves a dark, deliberate path through the landscape, its sluggish waters feeding the dense thickets that define the local terrain. Here, the light at dusk possesses a peculiar, bruised quality, turning the marshy grasses a deep, metallic violet before the sudden fall of night. To the west, the faint, jagged silhouette of Prospect Ridge barely registers against the sky, a distant reminder of higher ground far removed from the humid, sodden reality of the immediate earth.

Midway maintains a quiet connection to the land, shaped by the cycles of the coast and the slow, persistent labor of those who work the soil and the nearby waters. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, where the legacy of regional agriculture leaves its mark on the quiet roads and the modest, utilitarian architecture of the neighborhood. Residents often seek the shaded quiet of Woodlands Park, a preserved stretch of green that offers a respite from the humidity. Though Buck Island sits as a solitary sentinel in the distance, the people of Midway find their own steady measure of time, punctuated by the passage of the seasons and the constant, unseen movement of the water toward the sea.

About This Midway Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Midway, North Carolina. Coordinates: 35.975135, -80.220448. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Midway includes the ZIP code (27320, 28681, 28382), telephone area code (704, 980, 336), county seat of Brunswick County (Bolivia), and school district assignment (Davidson County Schools).

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.
