2014 Map of Summit Point

About this map

Summit Point and the surrounding high-plateau settlements of West Summit and East Summit define this high-elevation corner of San Juan County during the early 21st century. Positioned along the Utah Colorado state line, the landscape is deeply incised by drainage systems including Bear Trap Canyon and Little Indian Canyon. A network of local roads such as W Summit Rd and Ucolo Rd connects scattered farmsteads and points of interest like Rock House. The terrain is marked by significant vertical relief, where Three Step Hill rises above the Lower Lisbon Valley, and prominent landforms like Island Mesa and Horse Range Mesa dominate the eastern horizon. The mapping reveals a distinct pattern of high-desert land use, where the dry canyons of Mc Intyre Canyon and East Canyon contrast with the established agricultural summits that give the area its name.
