San Juan Public Lands Center

The San Juan Public Lands Center (SJPLC) is responsible for the management and stewardship of more than 664,000 acres of public lands in southwestern Colorado. The SJPLC also administers more than 300,000 acres of federal mineral estate underlying private lands (split-estate lands) and has trust responsibility for mineral management on 800,000 acres of Tribal lands.

Public lands in the San Juan Public Lands Center are incredibly diverse and rich in natural and cultural resources. From the spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery of the Alpine Triangle to the wealth of ancestral Puebloan sites in the Four Corners area, the public lands of the SJPLC are truly a national treasure.

Anasazi Heritage Center/Canyons of the Ancients National Monument

A unique part of the San Juan Field Office is the Anasazi Heritage Center located just west of Dolores. The Heritage Center is a museum of the Ancestral Puebloan (or Anasazi) culture and other cultures in the Four Corners region, in addition to serving as the headquarters for Canyons of the Ancients National Monument.

The museum features permanent exhibits, archaeological sites to visit, new and different special exhibits and events, traveling exhibits for loan, educational resources for teachers and a large research collection from the Dolores Archaeological Program and other archaeological projects.

Service First BLM/FS Cooperation

The San Juan Public Lands Center is managed under a concept known as Service First. Service First is a partnership strategy to provide better customer service and be more cost effective in the delivery of those services to users of the public lands in southwest Colorado and the San Juan National Forest.

For the past several years, the San Juan National Forest and BLM lands in Southwestern Colorado have been under the direction of a single manager. In addition, scarce-skill employees are shared between agencies, BLM employees are duty stationed at the Dolores Ranger District office, and the public can purchase joint BLM-USFS firewood permits.
