2020 Map of McAlister

About this map

McAlister occupies a central position in this portion of Quay County, illustrating the sparse settlement patterns and water-dependent geography of the High Plains. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the southward-flowing Alamosa Cr and the presence of ephemeral water bodies like Caballo Lake and Burk Lake. For local historians and genealogists, the McAlister Cem remains a critical landmark for tracing the community's early residents. The map's grid-based road system, dominated by routes such as Quay Road 31 and Quay Road AS, underscores the region's agricultural and ranching organization. This data reflects a modern era of mapping that still relies on traditional landmarks and township lines, such as t6n r29e, to define property and political boundaries.
