1978 Map of Mc Donald

About this map

McDonald stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Rawlins County, situated along the line of the Burlington Northern railroad. The town's layout includes a Park and a central WT, indicating the local infrastructure of the late 1970s. The surrounding High Plains landscape is defined by the drainage basins of North Beaver Creek and Little Beaver Creek, which carve distinct topographic relief into the prairie. A notable concentration of private aviation is evident across the township, with the Black Landing Field, Poore Landing Strip, and Briney Landing Field peppered throughout the agricultural sections. The map also delineates the civil boundaries of Celia and Burntwood, providing a clear view of the area's jurisdictional divisions during this era. Industrial activity is limited but present, marked by a lone Sandpit near the southern edge of the survey.
