The Driggs Mansion is on a 4-acre parcel of privately owned property along State Highway 141 in
Unaweep Canyon in southwestern Mesa County. In 1991, State Highway 141 was designated as a
segment of the Unaweep-Tabeguache National Scenic and Historic Byway by the Department of the
Interior. The Driggs property is at mile marker 129.6 along the route, just west of the Unaweep Divide. The
4-acre parcel is the remnant of a 320-acre ranch originally homesteaded by Lawrence La Tourette Driggs.
The Mansion property is surrounded by large acreages of ranch land, with a stunning backdrop of public
lands to the southeast. There is a line of four tree clumps in the western corner of the property and a single
tree near the foundation of the southeast corner of the back wing. The Mansion and its setting near the
prominent Thimble Rock are familiar landmarks within the Canyon.
