About this map

Adena stands as a focal point in this high-plains landscape where Morgan and Adams counties meet. The settlement is anchored by the Adena Union Ch, serving a rural community defined by its water management and sparse infrastructure in the early 1960s. The terrain is intricately carved by seasonal drainage systems, including the westward Bijou Creek and the meandering San Arroyo Creek to the east.

Evidence of local industry and utility is clear through the presence of a Borrow Pit, a Gravel Pit, and a prominent Radio Tower. The Sam Rosener Reservoir and a nearby Water Tank highlight the necessity of water storage in this semi-arid environment. A significant Pipeline traverses the southern portion of the quadrangle, cutting through the section lines that define the region's agricultural layout.
