1998 Map of Sedan NE

About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates the northern landscape of this high plains borderland where New Mexico meets the Texas Panhandle. This high-altitude prairie is defined by its intermittent water sources and wide-open rangeland, with Carrizo Creek cutting through the northeast corner as it flows toward the state line. The map serves as a detailed record of the border interface between Union County, New Mexico, and Dallam County, Texas. While the terrain appears sparse, the numerous labeled Well locations across the township and range grid indicate the critical importance of groundwater management for the cattle ranching and agricultural operations that sustain this arid region. The boundary lines underscore the intersection of different state land management policies and county jurisdictions at the very edge of the Llano Estacado.
