2017 Map of Rawson

About this map

Rawson sits at the heart of this McKenzie County landscape, where the intersection of 1st Ave W and 138th Ave NW marks the community center. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like t150n r100w and t150n r101w framing the prairie. The topography is defined by significant drainage networks and isolated rises, notably Tub Butte in the northwest and Hay Butte to the southeast. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds: Rawson Cem near the town site, Alexander Cem to the west, and Timber Creek Cem in the northeast. These landmarks, along with the meandering paths of Lonesome Cr and Antelope Cr, provide a clear picture of the area's rural development and geographic orientation.
