Montezuma County, Colorado, contains some of the most famous Anasazi cliff dwellings in the United States. The Anasazi resided in Mesa Verde until about the thirteenth century A.D. The spectacular cliff dwellings remain as monuments to their existence in Montezuma County, and to the skills of their builders. Two hundred structures occupy Mesa Verde, and the magnificent Cliff Palace housed about 400 people. Now the structures memorialize those who built them.1 The irrigated fields associated with the cliff dwellings preserved in Mesa Verde National Park juxtaposed with the structures of the Mancos Project provide a time warp of irrigation engineering and construction practices. The water supplied to Mesa Verde by the Mancos Project offers a more tangible connection between the two, and intertwined the park with the project for years.
