Midland is a ghost town in Riverside County in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of California.

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.

In the 1960s (before the town's demise), a gypsum mine 3 mi (4.8 km) west of the plant and abandoned in 1948 was converted into the largest fallout shelter in the county.

In 1970, a 150,000 gallon water tank from Midland was moved on skids by tractor to the new Mesa Ranch Mobile Home Park and a housing site in northwest Blythe.
