Der Park schützt rund 4000 archäologische Stätten, insbesondere die erst Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts vollständig erforschten, gut erhaltenen Felsbehausungen vorkolumbischer Anasazi-Stämme. Mesa Verde ist der einzige Nationalpark in den Vereinigten Staaten, der zum Schutz eines archäologischen Ortes eingerichtet wurde, andere kulturhistorische Objekte sind als National Monument ausgewiesen oder in einer anderen formal geringeren Schutzgebietskategorie.
