Midian

Tucked into the prairie of Butler County on the Great Plains, Midian is a place whose character is shaped by broad farmland and the open skies of south-central Kansas. This is a quiet rural setting where fields, grazing land and country roads define the everyday scale of the landscape. Butler County was transformed by the 1915 discovery of the El Dorado oil field, and petroleum remains an important part of the area’s historical identity. Midian provides a useful point of reference for exploring the transition between Kansas’s agricultural country and its long-established energy industry.
