About this map

Monticello marks the southern reach of this 2014 geographic study, where the high desert plateau begins its transition toward the foothills. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems including Big Canyon, South Canyon, and Vega Cr, which carve through the terrain north of the town center. Agricultural and municipal water management is evident through the presence of the Gordon Reservoir and Keller Reservoir, vital infrastructure for this arid region of San Juan County.

Transportation corridors follow the natural topography, with N Highway 191 serving as the primary north-south artery. The western edge of the map rises into the Manti-LaSal National Forest, anchored by the prominent Blue Mountain Rdg. This area shows a mix of public forest lands and established aviation infrastructure at the Monticello Airport, illustrating the modern layout of this high-altitude crossroads.
