Subregions of the VEP North Study Area
The VEP North study area was divided into subregions to estimate population size with greater accuracy and to examine how population shifted within the larger study area through time. This map illustrates the boundaries of the six subregions and the archaeological surveys that located and documented archaeological sites. These surveys included block surveys and linear transect surveys. The survey coverage ranges from a high of 100 percent in the Mesa Verde National Park subregion to a low of 5 percent in the Mesa Verde Landform subregion. The survey coverage for the remaining subregions was as follows: Ute Piedmont 23 percent, McElmo 20 percent, Hovenweep 18 percent, and Dolores 18 percent.
