From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Adummim
     the red ones, a place apparently on the road between Jericho and
     Jerusalem, "on the south side of the torrent" Wady Kelt, looking
     toward Gilgal, mentioned Josh. 15:7; 18:17. It was nearly
     half-way between Jerusalem and Jericho, and now bears the name
     of Tal-at-ed-Dumm. It is supposed to have been the place


     referred to in the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke
     10:30-37). Recently a new carriage-road has been completed, and
     carriages for the first time have come along this road from
     Jerusalem.
