1963 Map of Adena

About this map

Adena stands as the primary community in this rural pocket of Colorado, where the high plains meet the headwaters of the Missouri River Basin. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral flows of Bijou Creek and San Arroyo Creek, which carve winding paths through the terrain. The social and spiritual heart of the area is centered at the Adena Union Ch, while the agricultural importance of water management is evidenced by the prominent Rosener Reservoir to the east. A network of unimproved roads and light-duty paths connects various resource extraction points, including a Borrow Pit and Gravel Pit, alongside vital infrastructure like a Pipeline and a localized Radio Tower. This 1963 survey illustrates a quiet, ranching-oriented environment on the border of Morgan and Adams counties before more modern intensive developments.
