About this map

Adena sits within a landscape defined by an intricate network of intermittent drainages and section-line roads on the High Plains of eastern Colorado. This 2019 survey captures the quiet, rural character of the area near the border of Morgan and Adams County. The settlement and its nearby Adena Cem provide a focal point for genealogical research in a region dominated by agricultural tracts and ephemeral watercourses.

Surface water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by features such as Rosener Reservoir and D T Reservoir Number 3. The land is dissected by several named creeks and arroyos, including Bijou Cr, Muddy Cr, and Sand Arroyo Cr, which illustrate the natural drainage patterns of this semi-arid environment. A rigid grid of local roads, such as Co RD 14 and Co RD A, facilitates access across the townships and ranges of the Public Land Survey System.
