1970 Map of Sedan SE

About this map

Shaha Cem stands as a solitary genealogical landmark in this high plains landscape during the transition from the late 1960s into 1970. The terrain is defined by a sparse ranching economy where water is the primary driver of settlement and land use, evidenced by the numerous marked Well sites and a single Corral situated near the jurisdictional corner of Union and Dallam counties. The deep incision of Tramperos Creek cuts through the southwestern corner, offering a stark contrast to the surrounding plateau. This survey effectively documents the intersection of three distinct county lines and the interstate boundary of New Mexico and Texas, providing a precise record of property and political divisions in a region where physical landmarks are few.
