1955 Map of Adamana 1 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Puerco Ridge and the broad slopes of Potter Mesa dominate this mid-century survey of the Arizona landscape, illustrating a region defined by seasonal water management. The mapping reveals a network of vital livestock watering points, such as Clear Lake Tank, White Tank, and Potter Tank, which were essential for ranching in this arid corner of Apache County. Small, isolated settlements and family-named locations like Milky House and Potter Place appear alongside Milky Wash, showing the sparse but persistent human footprint on the land. The presence of a Windmill near the center of the sheet underscores the reliance on groundwater during the mid-1950s, a period when these improvements were critical for the viability of high-desert grazing lands.
