2016 Map of Thompson Park

About this map

Thompson Park sits at the high-elevation transition where the La Plata Mountains descend into canyon-carved terrain along the boundary of La Plata and Montezuma counties. This landscape is defined by the sharp relief of peaks such as Madden Peak and Menefee Mtn, alongside deep drainage systems like Joes Canyon and East Canyon. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Sponsel Reservoir and Cottonwood Reservoir which capture runoff from the San Juan National Forest.
