McDonald is a small place located in Marin County, California. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town. Instead, the county government manages the area.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

Imagine a neighborhood or a small group of homes that isn't officially part of a city. That's what an unincorporated community is! These places don't have their own mayor or city council. Instead, the larger county government takes care of things for them. This includes services like roads, police, and fire protection. It's a common way for smaller areas to be organized.

Where is McDonald Located?

McDonald is found in Marin County, which is in the beautiful state of California. This area is famous for its stunning natural beauty. It has amazing coastlines and lush forests. McDonald itself sits about 135 feet (or 41 meters) above sea level. This means it's not right on the beach, but it's also not high up in the mountains.
