1951 Map of Mc Donald

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

McDonald stands as the central hub of this mid-century Western Kansas landscape, situated along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line. This survey, conducted just after the war, captures a rural society organized around small school districts and township boundaries like Evergreen and Celia. The density of educational infrastructure is striking, with names like Grand Prairie Sch, Evergreen Sch, and Walnut Grove Sch peppered throughout the sections, reflecting a time before significant rural school consolidation. The terrain is defined by deep drainage patterns such as Jones Canyon and Burntwood Cr, which break the flat plains. Local history is anchored at the Grace Cem and the Lone Tree Sch (Abandoned), while a nearby Landing Field suggests the evolving transportation needs of the early 1950s.
