2018 Map of McDonald SW

About this map

The borderlands of the High Plains are defined by the Cheyenne Co Rawlins Co line as it cuts through a landscape of agrarian section lines and rolling drainages. The small community of McDonald sits in the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural townships. The layout of the region is punctuated by long-established landmarks such as Evergreen Cem and Grace Cem, which provide critical points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing family roots in this corner of Kansas. Natural features are subtle but distinct, with the headwaters of N Beaver Cr meandering through the eastern sections. This survey documents the intersection of rural infrastructure, including a grid of county roads like Co RD 32 and Co Line RD, which have supported the area's agricultural life for generations.
