2019 Map of Point Lookout

About this map

Mesa Verde National Park dominates the southern half of this landscape, where a series of dramatic landforms including Park Mesa, Moccasin Mesa, and Chapin Mesa are separated by deep drainages like Soda Canyon and Prater Canyon. This 2019 survey shows the modern infrastructure supporting the park, including the Morefield Campground and the Prater Canyon Patrol Rd. North of the park boundary, the land transitions to a mix of agricultural and educational use, anchored by the Southwest Colorado Community College and the complex irrigation of the Highline Ditch. The map details a sophisticated network of trails such as The Knife Edge and the Prater Ridge Trail, providing a clear record of recreational access and conservation management along the North Rim and prominent peaks like Point Lookout.
