About this map

The town of Sedan serves as the focal point of this Chautauqua County survey, where the Missouri Pacific railroad skirts the southern edge of the community. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of North Caney Creek and Middle Caney Creek, which shape the local drainage and topography. To the north, Quivira Camp and Union Chapel mark significant community gathering points, while the eastern section shows the settlement of Grafton situated near Bachelor Creek.

Evidence of the region's resource-based economy is visible in the scattered Oil Wells and the larger Oil Field north of town. Local recreation and infrastructure are well-documented, from the Sedan City Lake and its Picnic Area to the Landing Field and Radio Towers located northeast of the town center. Genealogists can identify key burial grounds including Greenwood Cem and St Charles Cem, providing essential primary source locations for family history research in this part of Kansas.
