1955 Map of Adamana 4 SW

About this map

Hunt Valley and the course of the Little Colorado River define this corner of Apache County, where desert drainage systems converge toward the valley floor. The map captures a high-plateau landscape marked by significant historical waypoints, most notably the Old Mail Station situated along the Mail Station Draw. This site, along with the settlement of Hunt in the northeast, reflects the sparse but essential network of water and communications in the mid-1950s. The terrain is deeply dissected by ephemeral watercourses such as Oso Draw and Seep Manuel Draw, while man-made features like Patterson Tank and several unnamed Reservoirs indicate the vital importance of ranching and water management in this arid environment.
