Midland is a ghost town in Riverside County in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of California. It is adjacent to the Little Maria Mountains and located about 20 mi (32 km) northwest of Blythe. It is accessible from Blythe in the south via Lovekin Boulevard and Midland Road, and from Rice in the north via Midland Road. As the character of the gypsum found in the area was considered too heavy as the years went on, company activity in Midland subsided and then ended in 1966. Many winter scenes in Hollywood films during the 20th century utilized faux snow that originated from Midland.

  • 米德兰(英語:Midland, California)是美国加利福尼亚州东南部的一座鬼镇,位于布莱斯以北22英里(大约35.4公里)处,并且毗邻。1925年至1966年,米德兰是一家美国石膏公司的驻地,该公司在米德兰的主要工作是开采石膏,在鼎盛时期,米德兰大约有1000多名居民。 在当时,许多好莱坞电影的冬季雪景都取材于米德兰。后来,由于米德兰剩余的石膏储量越来越少,公司在米德兰的开采活动也相应减少。1966年,公司中止了在米德兰的一切开采活动并决定撤离米德兰。公司撤离后,米德兰的大部分建筑被拆毁,只有少部分留了下来。米德兰也成为了一座鬼镇。 (zh)
