2023 Map of Sedan

About this map

The settlement of Sedan serves as the primary focal point of this high-plains landscape in Union County. The surrounding terrain is defined by the ephemeral flow of Carrizo Creek and Pinabete Creek, which carve subtle drainage patterns across the grazing lands of northeastern New Mexico. Local history and genealogy are centered on the Sedan Cem, accessible via Sedan Cemetery Rd. A grid of section-line roads, many bearing family names such as Anderson Rd, Callis Rd, Beamer Rd, and Lechner Rd, reveals the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System. These routes connect isolated homesteads and ranching operations, tracing the persistent agricultural heritage of the High Plains into the modern era.
