GENERAL DESCRIPTION. 

Colorado is_ situated about midway the country north and s9,utp, and about two_ 

thirds of the distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. .On the north are 

Wy~ming and Neb~aska, on the east Nebraska and Kansas, . ~ the south New 

Mexico, and Utah on the west. The State is a quadrilateral in.shape, its north and 

south boun<laries qeing respeptively the forty-first and thirty-seventh parallels of 

latitude; Its east boundary is the meri6ian of 25° west of Washington, and its west 

boundary that of 32°. Thus its length from .north to south is 4° o{latitude or 276 

miles, and its breadth from east to west is 7° of longitude. The length of its north 

bo.undary is. 366 miles, and of its south boundary 387 miles. The gross area of th~ 

State, as cq:r;np~ted. by ·square degr~es, _is 103,948 square miles. Dedl\cting a few 

small lakes and other bod1es of water leaves 103,658 square m~les of land area.

"Fro'ut Range;" enters tn~ State fforri Wy6in·ing on the north, and extending southw.ard terminat~s ~n Pike~ Peak. The rise _from the east is in long spurs stretching 

from lQ to 30 miles from .the smpmits.to the plains along the base. The plains range 

fro_m ~,.Cl.OO to ,;QQQOf()~t in altituqe, w bile the summits throughout the greater part of · 

its. ler1gth exc~e<L i.3,gOQ feet, 'and ~here are many peaks higher than 14,000 feet. 

~!fi<;>ng thes10 are Lo_ngs, 14,271 feet; 9rays~ 14,341 feet; Torrey, 14,336 feet; and 

Pikes, 14, 107-feet.. , .. : .. · . · • 

W~st of ~4~ .f!'Q!l .. t :Ji~ ~ge _is tli~ P~rk Range, which also enters the State from 

Wyoming, and running-nearly south terminates in about the same latitude. In the 

nprthe:r:n part of the.Statethis is the westernmost range of the system, and from its 

we.steri1 flanks the plateaus descend· in · series toward Green RiVer; This range i~ 

ln~t slightly inferior in height to the .Front Range, containing several peaks exceeding 14,000 feet,, among which are Quandary, 14,266; Lincoln, 14,297 feet; Bross, 

14,100 feet; and Sheridan, 14,038 feet. 

Between the Front and Park ranges is a series of high mountain valleys extending from north to south, separated by high cross ranges. The most northerly of 

these is North Park, in which rises North Platte River. It is mainly a level expanse 

with an average elevation of 8,000 feet. South of it is Middle Park, in which heads 

Grand River, which flows westward 1across the park and cuts a -gap (Gore Canyon)

through the Park Range on its way to join Green River, forming the Colorado. 

Middle Park consists mainly of second.ary ranges of mountains and hills, alternating 

with broad valleys. The altitude differs greatly in different parts, but it is generally 

less than that of North Park. The third is South Park, in the northwestern part 

of which heads South Platte River, which traverses it in a southeasterly direction. 

South Park is the highest of the three, its altitude ranging from 8,000 to 10,000 feet. 

It is generally very level. 

West of South Park and of the southern portion of the Park Range, Arkansas 

River h eads in Tennessee Pass; and beyond, forming the west wall of Arkansas Valley, is the Sawatch Range. This is a high, broad and massive range with many 

peaks exceeding 14,000 feet. At the north is the Mountain of the Holy Cross, 

with a height of 14,170 feet; then follow Massive, 14,4~4 feet; Elbert, 14,421 feet; La 

Plata, 14,342 feet; Harvard, 14,375 feet; Yale, 14,187 feet; and Princeton, 14,196 

feet. 

West of the Sa watch ·Range is a succession of high ranges and more or less isolated 

mountains, known collectively as the" Elk Mountains" or the" Gunnison Country," 

and beyond them are the plateaus. 

Returning to the eastern part of ~he mountain region we find facing the plains· 

the Sangre de Cristo Range, which stretches from Arkansas River south into New 

Mexico. This is a narrow ridge of great altitude,·with a number of peaks exceeding 

14,000 feet, and only two passes lower than 10,000 feet. On the north near Ar.kansas River is a high range known as the ''Wet Mountains,'' standing as an outlier east 

of the Sangre de Cristo Range. 

West of the Sangre de Cristo Range is the great San Luis VaJley, which extends 

nearly from Arkansas River into New Mexico. Its surface is extremely level and 

ranges in altitude from 7,000 to 8,000 feet. West of San Luis Valley rise the San Juan 

Mountains in which head Rio Grande, flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, the San Juan 

flowing westward to the Colorado, and many branches of Gran9. and Gunnison rivers. 

In this group are many peaks exceeding 14,000 feet. Among them are Handies, 14,008 

feet; Sneffels, 14,158 feet; Wilson, 14,250 feet; Eolus, 14,079 feet; Sunlight, 14,053 

feet; Windom, 14,084 feet; and Uncompahgre, 14,289 feet. 

The plains rise from an altitude of 3,000 or 4,000 feet at the east boundary of the 

State to 6,000 or 8,000 at the foot of the mountains. Their surface is rolling and 

in some places broken. At the foot of the mountains the stratified beds are tilted 

up, forming hogbacks, which run in long, regular lines parallel to the base of the 

mountains. 

Within the mountains head North Platte, South Platte, and Arkansas rivers. The 

first · flows northward into Wyoming, while the South Platte and Arkansas, after 

forcing their way through numerous ridges and spurs, enter the plains. The South 

Platte pursues in the plains a course nearly north and then northeast, finally uniting 

with North Platte River at the to~n of North Platte, in Nebraska. The Arkansas 

after reaching the plains pursues a course nearly ea~t to the eastern. boundary of the 

State. Except near the mountains the plains contain few perennial streams; indeed, 

water is very scarce except immediately after rains. 

From the westernmost of the mountain ranges the country descends in a series of 

plateaus, some of which are horizontal and others inclined at different angles and in 

various directions. Most of the streams, whether perennial or not, are in canyons 

cut to varying depths. This plateau region is drained entirely by tributaries of 

Colorado River. The higher of these plateaus are well watered and covered with 

forests, but as one descends the region become more desert-like, the lowest parts of 

the plateau having all the aspects of a desert. 

Colorado has the highest average elevation of .all the States-6,800 feet. The following table classifies the areas by altitude:

The principal rivers are North Platte, South Platte, Arkansas, Rio Grande, Yampa, 

White, Grand, Gunnison, Dolores,,and San Juan. None of these streams are navigable~ 

They head in the mountains, and with steep and rugged courses flow to the plains or 

plateaus. These rivers, with their numerous branches in the mountain country of 

Colorado, probably furnish a more abundant supply of water for irrigation purposes 

than the streams of any other State in the arid region. Most of them are drawn 

upon heavily in aid of irrigation. 

CLIMATE. 

Although Colorado is greatly elevated above sea level, the lowest portion along the 

east boundary being 3,000 feet in altitude, the temperature is lmt slightly lower than 

in regions of the same latitude near sea level, because the isothermal lines are carried 

up by the great mass of country. The mean annual temperature of the plains and 

plateaus :ranges from 45° to 55°, while that of the higher mountain valleys or parks 

is 40° or even less, and upon the movntain ranges it is still lower. 

The rail.ge of temperature between day and night, between summer and winter, 

aud between the highest and lowest temperatures recorded, is very great, far greater 

than in the Mississippi Valley or on the Atlantic coast. Thus the difference between 

the temperatures of the coldest and warmest months is, on an average, not far from 

50°. Upon the plains, at such points as Denver and Colorado Springs, the temperature frequently falls below zero in winter, while -summer temperatures above 1,00° 

are often recorded, and on the low plateaus in the western part the range of temperature is even greater. 

Colorado lies wlthin the arid region. The plains to the east of the mountains and 

the plateaus to the west have an annual rainfall of less than 20 inches, decreasing in 

some localities, especially in the western part, to 10 inches or even less. In the 

mountains the rainfall is greater, exceeding 30 inches. The distribution of rainfall 

throughout the year is peculiar to the Rocky Mountain region; instead of falling 

mainly in the winter time, as is the case on the Pacific eoast, the summer is the 

· rainy season, and instead of long storms the rain comes in the form of showers. At 

Denver five-sixths of the annual precipitation falls from May to October, inclusive, 

and in other parts of the State the proportion in these months is from two-thirds to 

nine-tenths of the total annual precipitation. The cause of this phenomenon is that 

in wintet: the ranges bordering the Pacific (this ocean being the source of precipitation 

for the entire western country) take practically all the moisture from the vapor-laden 

winds coming off that ocean, while in summer, owing to the fact that these Fanges 

are relatively warmer, a part of the moisture is carried over to the interior country. 

The aridity of the region is shown not only in the light rainfall, but in the relative 

humidity of the atmosphere. · On the plains and plateaus the average relative 

humidity is not far from 50 per cent-that is, the air contains on an average only 

about one-half the moisture which it is possible for it to absorb. 
HISTORY. 

';rP,e :eastern part of Colorado was a part of the Louisiana Purchase acquired from 

France in 1803; a narrow strip across the center from north to south was a part of 

the ·Texas Acquisition; while the western part was from the Mexican Cession under 

the treaty of <3uadalupe Hidalgo: 

~ '·TP,e Territory of Colorado was organized February 28, 1861, from parts of Kansas, 

Nebraska, Utah, and New Mexico, and was admitted as a State on August 1, 187u. The 

region which is now Colorado was inhabited by the Ute tribe of Indians wh~n first 

knewh io·white men. Their homes were in the mountains, while the plains, then 

sw!:tr-J.ning with buffalo, were the common hunting -grounds for this and other tribes. 

The 'fitst white settlers were of· Spanish blood and entered from New Mexico at an 

early date. Their clescend·ants still form an important element in the population ·of 

the· southern part of the State. The .first American immigration c'ommencedabout 

1860; and was induced by the discovery of gold placers in South Park and in the 

Arkansas Valley to the west. From that time the population of Colorado ha·s 

increased rapidly, as is shown by the following table:

AGRICULTURE. 

Of the four great branches of industry, namely, agriculture, manufacture, mining, 

and transportation, the most important, as measured by the value of its product, is 

mining, while agriculture and manufacture follow closely. 

Owing to the location of the State within the arid region, agriculture is in large 

part limited by the supply of water for irrigation. It is true that in some localities, 

which by reason of local topography enjoy an unusual rainfall, dry farming is carried on·. The total number of fan1'1s in the State in 1900 was 24,700, and their total 

value was $161,045,101. This value was made up of four items, as follows: Land 

and improvements, $90,341,523; buildings, $16,002,512; implements and machines, 

$4,746, 755; live stock, $49,954,311. The average value per farm was $6,520. The 

value of all farm products in 1900 was $33,048,576, an average per farm of $1,3;>8. 

The value of farm products averaged about 20 per cent of the c~pital invested in 

farms. 

In the farms of Colorado there are 9,474,588 acres, of which 2,273,968 acres or 24 

per cent were improved or cultivated. This cultivated area is only 3.4 per cent of 

the entire area of the State, and y8t it is a larger proportion than in any other State in 

the arid region. The average number of acres per farm was 384, which is more than 

·twice the size of the average farm in the United States. About 77 per cent of all 

farms were owned by their occupants, 14 per cent being rented on shares, and 9 per 

cent rented for cash. Of the cultivated land, 1,611,271 acres or 71 per cent were 

under irrigation. The area irrigated was 2.4 per cent of the total area of the State.

MANUF A.CTURES. 

Manufactures are assuming great proportions in Colorado. In 1900 there were 

3,570 manufacturing establishments of all kinds, with a capital of $62,825,472. They 

employed 24,725 wage-earners and paid them $15,146,667. The cost of the materials 

used was $66,886,016 and the value of the production $102,830,137, showing a net 

increase in value produced by manufacture of $35,944,121. This figure, which 

measures the importance of tne manu[actures, is slightly in excess of the value of 

agriculture. 

The following table gives the number of establishments and the gross value of their

MINING. 

In its mines Colorado finds its chief source of wealth. In 1902 the output of these 

mines had a value of . $40,603,286, being exceeded only by Pennsylvania, Ohio, 

Michigan, and West Virginia. Of all the Western States and Territories Colorado is 

easily first in production. It produced the largest amount of gold and silver; was 

tl;lird in the production of lead, being exceeded by Idaho and Utah; was fourth in 

the production of zinc, and sixth in the production of copper; iri the production of 

coal it was exceeded by seven States, and in petroleum by eleven. The following 

table shows the quantity and value of its principal products in 1904:

TRANSPORTATION. 

In 1904 Colorado contained 4,976 miles of railway, which is 2.33 per cent of the 

entire mileage of the United States. 

EXPLORATION AND MAPPING. 

The explor~ion of Colorado began in 1807, when Capt. Zebulon M. Pike, of the 

_United States Army, cros~ed the plains and followed the Arkansas River to the present site of Pueblo, arriving there in early winter. From this point he attempted to 

climb Pikes Peak, but abandoned it after several days' struggle with deep snow, 

remarking that only a bird could reach the summit, yet there is now a cogwheel 

railroad to the top of the mountain and thousands of people visit it every summer. 

The next few months were devoted to an attempt to explore the hills north of the 

Canyon·of the Arkansas bordering South Park on the south, in which work he and 

his men su,ffered extremely from cold. Toward spring they crossed Sangre de Cristo 

Range into San Luis Valley, where, being in Mexican territory, they were captured 

by a detachment of Mexican troops and taken to Santa Fe. After a period of ·detention they were released and returned to the United States. 

During the following years many expeditions, under Fremont, Long, and others, 

traversed the plains in various directions. In 1840-45 Fremont explored the 

·m0untain regions, and in 1853 Captain Gunnison, commanding one of the Pacific 

Railroad expeditions, traversed the State from east to west by way of the Arkansas, 

San Luis, Gunnison, and Grand River valleys. Several other army expeditions 
GAZETTEER OF COLORADO. 11 

explored parts of the State, so that in its broader aspects the topographic features 

were pretty well known at the begi!lning of the American settlements. In 1870 and 

1871 the Fortieth Parallel Survey mapped a strip of country between 40° 30' and 41° 

in latitude and extending across the mountain and plateau portions. Between 1873 .. 

and 1876 the Hayden Survey mapped, on a scale of 4 milesto an inch and with con~ 

tour intervals of 200 feet, that part of the State lying west of longitude •104° 30', 

including all the mountain and plateau regions. This Suney published a topographic and geologic atlas of the State, which in subsequent years had a powerful 

influence in its development. Since the commencement of topographic work by the 

present Geological Survey much detailed work has been done, 34 sheets upon a scale 

of 1:125,000 and18 sheets upon a scale of 1:62,500 having been prepared. The total 

. area surveyed is in the neighborhood of 38,000 square miles, or considerably more 

than one-third of the total area. 

There are 14 forest reserves in the State, comprising most of the mountain and 

plateau country. The total area of l.llnd thus reserved is 18,236 square miles, or 17 

per cent of the total area.

surface consists of rolling plains and is traversed by many 

dry water courses. The area is 1,253 square miles, of 

which a considerable area in the western portion is under 

cultivation where the Union Pacific Railroad and the Burlington Route cross the county. As this county has been 

formed since 1900 from Arapahoe County, it is impossible 

to give its population or percentage of cultivated area. The 

county seat is Brighton, a town of about 366 inhabitants, 

while the next town in size is Harris, which had, in 1900,

Arkansas; river of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma Territory,

in central Colorado at an altitude of 10,000 feet above the 

sea; it flows first south in a mountain valley, and then east 

through a succession of canyons, passing out of the mountains just west of Canyon. Its course is east across the 

plains through eastern Colorado and Kansas, changing to 

southeast shortly before entering Oklahoma Territory, and 

so continuing through that Territory, Indian Territory, and 

Arkansas. Although its total length is 1,497 miles, with 

a drainage area of 185,671 square miles, it carries little 

water between Little Rock, Ark., and the western boundary of Kansas, except during times of flood, owing to the 

fact that the larger part of its drainage basin is within the 

arid region. Indeed in southern Kansas the stream bed is 

frequently dry in the late summer. It has many long 

tributaries, including White, Neosho, Verdigris, Cimarron, 

and Canadian rivers, but none except the White brings·to 

it much water; the discharge for 1904 at Canyon was 

. 409,000 acre-feet.
