About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor anchors the northern reach of this landscape, passing through the small settlement of Adamana and past Goodwater along the Puerco River. This 1912 edition, based on surveys by J.G. Staack, Pearson Chapman, and G.S. Druhot, captures the area during the early years of the Petrified Forest National Monument. The map documents a geography of erosion and discovery, identifying key paleontological and archaeological sites like Newspaper Rock, the Agate House, and various unnamed Ruins.
