2020 Map of Summit Point

About this map

Summit Point sits at the center of this high-desert landscape along the Utah-Colorado border, representing a remote agricultural and ranching outpost in San Juan County. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic mesas and canyons, including Island Mesa in the northeast and the deep cuts of Mc Intyre Canyon and Bear Trap Canyon to the west. A complex network of rural roads like Ucolo Rd and Lisbon Valley Rd connects the scattered homesteads of the area to the nearby West Summit settlement. The map reveals a land structured by both natural geology and human survey, with the winding Little Indian Canyon and Buck Draw contrasted against the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The proximity to the Lower Lisbon Valley suggests a history tied to the regional mining and grazing economy that has long sustained these borderland communities.
