1950 Map of Mc Donald

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

McDonald stands as the primary settlement in this Western Kansas landscape, situated along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line. The map illustrates a high-plains agricultural community organized into townships such as Celia, Jefferson, and Evergreen. The density of rural education is a striking feature of this era, with numerous one-room schoolhouses scattered across the prairie, including Grand Prairie School, Prairie Dog School, and the already Lone Tree Sch (Abandoned). Natural drainage follows the incised paths of Burntwood Creek and Jones Fork to the north, while Little Beaver Creek cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local infrastructure is further evidenced by a Landing Field and the Grace Cem, providing critical landmarks for genealogists tracing the early 20th-century inhabitants of Rawlins and Cheyenne counties.
