2009 Map of McDonald NE

About this map

Mayflower Cemetery stands as a quiet focal point in this northwestern corner of Rawlins County, marking a landscape defined by its high plains drainage systems. The terrain is deeply inscribed by the seasonal flow of North Fork Driftwood Creek in the east and the branching headwaters of West Fork Burntwood Creek and East Fork Burntwood Creek to the west. This 2009 survey reveals the sparse but intentional infrastructure of the modern agricultural era, where large-scale farming is supported by private aviation facilities like the Harper Landing Strip and Frisbie Landing Strip. The rigid grid of section roads, including Co Rd Y, contrasts with the meandering paths of the creek beds, illustrating the intersection of human geometry and natural topography in the High Plains.
