2012 Map of McDonald NW

About this map

Jones Canyon Cr and several forks of Burntwood Creek carve a network of drainage channels across this agricultural landscape in northwestern Kansas. The terrain is defined by a grid of rural section roads, including Co Road W and Road Aa, which facilitate access across the high plains. While primarily characterized by its hydrology and transportation network, the map shows the persistence of the traditional township-and-range land division system through the alignment of routes like Road 34 and Co Line Rd. The presence of W Fork Burntwood Cr and E Fork Burntwood Cr highlights the natural watercourses that have historically influenced land use and grazing patterns in this part of Rawlins County.
