2017 Map of Monticello South

About this map

Monticello anchors the northern edge of this high-plateau landscape, where the town grid meets the rolling drainages of the canyonlands. The map reveals a transition from organized residential streets like W Center St to the vast open spaces of the Manti-LaSal National Forest. Water management is central to the area’s layout, evidenced by Lloyds Lake, the Number One Reservoir, and the winding paths of Verdure Creek and Montezuma Creek. Genealogists will find interest in the Monticello City Cemetery and the more remote Verdure Cemetery near the settlement of Verdure. The southern portion is defined by significant topographical features including Montezuma Canyon and Dodge Canyon, reflecting the complex erosion patterns characteristic of San Juan County. Individual landmarks such as Pehrson and Ed Saul mark specific points in the rural landscape between the deep draws and high points like Boulder Point.
