<br />ilhe boundary of tht! Colorado Hiver Waler
<br />Conservation District is outlint>r:l in Northwt'sl
<br />and West Central Colorado. This st'rvl'S to
<br />indicate the position of the district relative to
<br />the Colorado Hiver which flows an estimated
<br />200t250 milt,s within the state throuKh the
<br />district to the Utah hordt'r.

<br />Colorado from its headwaters in Never Summer
<br />Mountain Rangt! on the westt'rn I'dKt~ of Hocky
<br />Mountain National Park.
<br />
<br />As it flows south, then west, then south aKain
<br />1,400 miles to Old Mexico, the Colorado serves
<br />thl' water and power nct'ds of some 22 million

<br />
<br />The Colorado Hiver is one of the most
<br />ht'neficial, most controlled, most controversial
<br />and most litiKatt'd rivers known.
