Description From Owner:

Adams Lake - Appears as 'choo choo ach' (see Chu Chua) on Archibald McDonald's 1827 map of 'Thompson's River District.'
Subsequently renamed after a Shuswap Indian chief, Sel-howt-ken, who was baptized in 1849 by Father Nobili and given the name of Adam.
Walter Moberly reports that, when he visited the lake in 1865, he 'made the acquaintance of Adam and Eve, an Indian and his wife.'
