About this map

Sedan serves as the focal point of this Chautauqua County survey, showing the city's structured street grid including W Main St and N School St near the southern edge of the quadrangle. The surrounding landscape is defined by the complex drainages of North Caney Creek, Middle Caney Creek, and Wolf Cr, which create a series of ridges and valleys across the prairie. The presence of Sedan City Lake and Tanglewood Lake highlights 20th-century water management efforts in this rural landscape.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by several burial sites, including Greenwood Cem near the city limits and the more remote Union Chapel Cem and Saint Charles Cem. The northern portion of the map includes the settlement of Grafton, connected by a network of rural routes such as Quivira Rd and Nation Rd. The Sedan City Airport stands as a notable modern landmark north of the main settlement.
