2013 Map of Adena

About this map

Adena stands as the primary settlement in this corner of the High Plains, situated at the boundary of Morgan and Adams counties. The landscape is defined by its seasonal hydrology, where ephemeral drainages like Bijou Creek and Sand Arroyo Creek cut through the terrain. These watercourses are vital to the area's agricultural identity, supported by localized water storage such as the Williams-McCreery Reservoir and Rosener Reservoir. For genealogists and local historians, the Adena Cem provides a specific point of reference for the families who settled this open country. The strictly grid-aligned road network, including CO Road A and CO Road 14, reflects the systematic land divisions that have organized this rural landscape since the early 20th century, connecting isolated homesteads to the small community hub.
