It is located on the flank of a hill on the south side of Interstate 70 across from the older town of Parachute. The two communities together are known as "Parachute-Battlement Mesa". The town takes its name from Battlement Mesa, a basalt-topped mesa that sits to the south of the town.
==History==
The community was first developed by an oil company as a residence for its workers in the expectation that the rising price of oil would make shale oil extraction economically viable. When oil prices adjusted fell, the housing estate was left as a stranded asset and the oil company marketed it to retirees in conjunction with a real estate firm.
The Battlement Mesa Schoolhouse stands as a testimony to education.
