About this map

Sedan serves as the focal point of this northeastern New Mexico landscape, a region defined by a sparse network of section-line roads and intermittent drainage systems. The settlement is anchored by the Sedan Post Office, representing the vital communication link for the surrounding ranching community. To the northwest, the terrain is etched by the meandering path of Carrizo Creek, while the southwest corner is marked by the presence of Pinabetes Creek.

A network of county highways, including County Hwy C-050 and County Hwy C-059, crisscrosses the high plains, illustrating the structured land division of Union County. For genealogists and local historians, the Sedan Cemetery provides a primary point of reference for families tied to this high desert environment. The map details a landscape where water and transportation routes dictate the patterns of human presence.
