THE SOUTHERN UTE LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Monticello-Cortez Uplands setting.

Southern Ute CDP has 16 square miles of land in La Plata County. Its Census reference point is in Monticello-Cortez Uplands, within Colorado Plateaus.

Layered sedimentary rock forms mesas, benches, cliffs and deeply cut canyons. Pinyon-juniper woodland, oak and drier basin vegetation vary with elevation and the plateau's strongly contrasting terrain.

Southern Ute and La Plata County

Southern Ute is associated with La Plata County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

La Plata County

Southern Ute by land and water

The Census records 0 square miles of water within Southern Ute, or 0% of its total area. It is 0.6 percentage points lower than the 0.6% recorded for La Plata County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Southern Ute CDP has 31.2 times the land area of nearby Ignacio town (0.51 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Southern Ute land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Separate Southern Ute’s place name from its government

Southern Ute is a Census-designated place, a statistical community rather than an incorporated municipality. Confirm the actual planning jurisdiction before treating a Southern Ute address as city approval. La Plata County is the geographic starting point for the records.

02

Read the Monticello-Cortez Uplands setting

Monticello-Cortez Uplands belongs to Colorado Plateaus. Is the parcel on a mesa top, bench or canyon side, and does the access route cross a major elevation break?

03

Check the route, beyond Ignacio

Ignacio is 3.8 miles northwest of the Southern Ute reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Southern Ute
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Southern Ute?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in La Plata County. Southern Ute’s 16 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Southern Ute property in Monticello-Cortez Uplands?+

No. Monticello-Cortez Uplands is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Southern Ute boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Ignacio as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 3.8 miles northwest of Southern Ute’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Southern Ute?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
