1955 Map of Adamana 4 SE

About this map

The Little Colorado River winds through this high desert landscape, cutting between the broad elevations of South Mesa and the volcanic-edged Black Ridge. This mid-century survey illustrates a sparsely populated reach of Apache County, where water is the primary architect of human activity. The presence of the Rogers Lake (Dry Lakebed) and several scattered reservoirs emphasizes the seasonal nature of the region's hydrology. Human presence is marked by isolated landmarks like the Greer Place and various unnamed ruins, suggesting a landscape of endurance. Notable survey points like Concho Foot VABM 6307 and Concho VABM 6316 provide precise elevation data for the hills rising above the Hunt Valley, while the ancient flow of Sinking Springs adds a unique geologic feature to the river's path.
