About this map

McDonald serves as a central point of reference in this corner of the Llano Estacado, situated at the junction of several county roads including W Mc Donald Rd and Co Rd 130. The landscape is characterized by its orderly township-and-range grid, with numerous residential streets such as S Bridges Ave and S Fox Ave clustered in the northern portion of the survey. The natural topography is subtly defined by Eightmile Draw, which cuts across the northeastern section, and the intermittent track of Baum winding through the center. This high plains region in Lea County reflects a late-twentieth-century rural infrastructure, where a network of gravel and local roads like Sartin Rd and S James Rd connects isolated homesteads and ranching interests across the vast, flat terrain.
