2022 Map of McDonald NW

About this map

Jones Canyon and the forks of Burntwood Creek define the drainage patterns of this High Plains landscape along the border of Cheyenne and Rawlins counties. This 2022 survey captures a rural environment marked by a strict section-line road grid, including routes such as Co RD 33 and Co RD Aa, which facilitate access across the dry uplands and intermittent stream beds. The topography is dominated by the W Fork Burntwood Cr and E Fork Burntwood Cr, where the land begins to roll more significantly compared to the surrounding flat agricultural reaches. The absence of concentrated town sites emphasizes the area's specialized ranching and farming character, where large township tracts like t1s r37w and t1s r36w remain the primary units of organization.
