2010 Map of Adena

About this map

Adena and its surrounding landscape in Morgan County are defined by the critical management of water in an arid high-plains environment. This area features a network of ephemeral drainage systems including Bijou Creek, Muddy Creek, and Sand Arroyo Creek. Human intervention is evidenced by the storage of water in the Rosener Reservoir, held by the Williams-McCreery Dam, and the DT Reservoir Number 3. The gridded road network, from County Road A to County Road I, facilitates access to these water resources and the local settlement. For those researching family history, the Adena Cemetery stands as a primary landmark in this rural stretch of eastern Colorado, providing a focal point for the small community and its agricultural roots.
