About this map

Perkins Ranch and the deep drainage of Montezuma Creek characterize this high-desert plateau in San Juan County during the mid-1950s. The landscape is a complex network of canyons, including Bug Canyon, Mesa Canyon, and Monte Canyon, where early human history is recorded at Cliff Dwellings and Cliff Dwelling Petroglyphs. These archaeological sites indicate a long-standing pattern of habitation tied to the sparse water resources of the region.
