2018 Map of McDonald

About this map

McDonald anchors this portion of Rawlins County, situated along the southern edge of the survey where the local street grid includes Republic St, Lincoln St, and Norton St. This small agricultural settlement is serviced by a central Po and sits just south of the Jack Poore Airport. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of N Beaver Cr and Little Beaver Cr, which have carved intricate drainage patterns through the High Plains terrain. These watercourses create a distinct contrast between the flat upland agricultural sections and the complex topography of the creek breaks. The map illustrates the 2018 configuration of rural section roads, such as Rd V and Rd U, which maintain the rigid geometric order typical of the Public Land Survey System even as the natural hydrology of the Beaver Creek tributaries cuts across the grid.
