1955 Map of Adamana 3 SE

About this map

The high desert landscape along the border of Navajo and Apache Counties is defined by an intricate network of drainage channels and water catchment features essential to ranching life in the mid-1950s. Sandeval Draw and Cheney Draw cut through the terrain, directed toward larger basins like Jeff Lake Draw. This preliminary survey highlights the critical infrastructure of the era, where survival and livestock management depended on specific water sources such as Rogers Well, Manuel Seep, and scattered reservoirs like Broken Tank and Four Section Tank. Several unnamed Windmill sites are marked throughout the area, illustrating the distribution of groundwater access across this remote stretch of Eastern Arizona before more modern developments reached the region.
