2001 Map of Monticello North

About this map

Monticello anchors the southern edge of this landscape, where the high desert plateau begins its descent into a complex system of drainage corridors. This 2001 revision, based on earlier surveys and updated imagery, reveals the infrastructure of a high-altitude county seat, including the San Juan County Airport and the nearby Rodeo Ground. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosional features like Big Canyon and Peters Canyon, which cut through the eastern reaches of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Water management is central to this environment, evidenced by the presence of Kelley Reservoir, Peters Spring, and various aqueducts and pipelines that traverse the region. Traces of local industry and transit are found in a Gravel Pit and several storage bins, alongside the residential footprint of a Mobile Home Park on the northern outskirts of town.
