About this map

Monticello sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the town grid is anchored by the San Juan County Court House and residential streets like Abajo Dr. South of the city, the land transitions into a network of rugged drainages and canyons, including the significant Montezuma Canyon and the winding Verdure Creek. The smaller settlement of Verdure is located to the south along Highway 191, accompanied by the local Verdure Cem.

Water management is a central feature of the area's development, evidenced by the Monticello City Number One Reservoir and Lloyds Lake. The map reveals a complex system of canyon systems and points, such as Dodge Point and West Boulder Point, that define the local geography. Local history is reflected in family-named landmarks like Pehrson and Ed Saul, alongside the Monticello City Cem, providing a detailed record of the community's geographic footprint.
