About this map

Mesa Verde National Park dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the dramatic transition from the Montezuma Valley to the high plateau is marked by sharp topographic features like Point Lookout and The Knife Edge. The map details the infrastructure of the park, including the Morefield Village settlement, Morefield Campground, and Morefield Amphitheater. Transport through the region is centered on Us-160, which skirts the northern boundary of the park before ascending the mesas.

Agricultural and educational sites are concentrated in the north, including the Montezuma County Fairgrounds and the San Juan Basin Technical Coll. The intricate drainage system of the area is visible through features like the Highline Ditch and Rocky Ford Ditch, highlighting the importance of water management in this Colorado terrain. High points like Park Point and Lone Cone provide clear landmarks across the mesa complex.
