Midkiff is a T-shaped unincorporated desert village in northeastern Midland County, Texas, United States. It lies along RM 2401 and FM 3095, north of the city of Rankin, the county seat of Upton County.[1] Its elevation is 2,736 feet (834 m).[2]
Founded in an oil boom in the early 1950s, Midkiff was named for a former community in nearby Midland County. Its original proposed name was "Hadacol Corner", but the U.S. Postal Service objected, presumably because it disapproved of locating in a town named after a registered corporate brand name, and the founders agreed to make a change in order to have a post office.[3][4] Its post office was established in September 1952.[5]
