1955 Map of Adamana 4 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The confluence of the Little Colorado River, the Zuni River, and the Hunt River anchors this mid-century topographic record of the high desert landscape. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the wide Hunt Valley up to the prominent Potter Mesa in the northwest. Water management is the central theme of human activity in this arid region during the early 1950s, evidenced by scattered infrastructure such as the Potter Windmill and numerous water catchment systems like Hutchinson Tank and Metias Tank. The drainage patterns are clearly articulated through deep incisions like Goat Ranch Draw and Oso Draw, which feed into the primary river systems. A Gaging Sta on the Little Colorado River indicates the importance of monitoring these vital water sources in Apache County, while the presence of a Dam on Beaver Dam Wash illustrates the efforts to harness seasonal flows.
