1962 Map of Chautauqua

About this map

Sedan and the surrounding township terrain are defined by the industry of the Sedan Oil Field and a network of waterways including Middle Caney Creek and Missouri Middle Creek. In the early 1960s, the landscape south toward the Oklahoma border reveals a transition from these agricultural and industrial uplands to the rising waters of the Hulah Res, where the normal pool elevation is recorded at 733 feet. The map captures critical genealogical landmarks such as Casement Cem, Greenwood Cem, and Findley Cem, alongside the remote Walter Landing Strip. A significant historical line, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, bisects the southern half of the quadrangle, serving as a reminder of earlier territorial divisions. Transport is anchored by the Missouri Pacific railroad in the north and traces of an Old Railroad Grade further south, reflecting the area's evolving transit infrastructure.
