    (Provided courtesy of the colorado Legislative Council) CLIMATE, geography AND PEOPLE. colorado exists on a plateau. It is the highest state, containing 75 percent of all the area in the United States over 10 000 feet. Most of the state's population lives at the 4 0006 000 foot level. colorado is not entirely mountainous

    Extractions: (Provided courtesy of the Colorado Legislative Council) Colorado is the eighth largest state with an area of 104,247 square miles. Rectangular in shape, the main feature of the state's geography is the Continental Divide, extending northeast to southwest, and roughly bisecting Colorado into the Eastern and We stern Slopes. The state is 387 miles from east to west and 276 miles from north to south. Waters east of the Divide flow into the Atlantic, those west of the Divide flow into the pacific. The major rivers of Colorado are the Arkansas, North Platte, South Platte, Rio Grande, and the Colorado. A third of the state's 66.7 million acres is forest. The federal government owns thirty-six percent of the state's surface; of the remaining acreage five percent is controlled by the state. Colorado has been called "the climate capitol of the world". Mild and semiarid, Colorado offers more than 296 days of sunshine per year. While summer temperatures are quite high on Colorado's eastern plains, the front-range cities are cooler and the wea ther seldom reaches discomfort levels. Precipitation varies from seven inches a year in some plains areas to 25 inches in high mountains with a year-round, statewide average of 16.5 inches. The Rocky Mountains serve as a barrier to most winter storms fr om the pacific coast. In 1870, only 40,000 people lived in Colorado, the state's population in 1970 was 2,207,000. In 1980, the population was 2,880,000 and in 1994 it was 3,655,647. Most of the population is concentrated in urban areas along the Front Range of the Rockies f rom Greeley and Fort Collins on the north to Pueblo on the south. Population density is roughly 35 persons per square mile. The state's population is growing but its density is only about 40 percent of the national average. The median age of Colorado r esidents is 32.5 years. Colorado's population is made up of several ethnic groups. The approximate percentages are: Hispanic origin, and race, 13 percent; African-American, 4 percent; Asian, 2 percent; American Indian, 1% percent; and White, 80 percent.

46. SDSS For Location Planning, Or The Seat Of The Pants Is Out
    A paper by Larry Daniel that reviews the general characteristics of a spatial decision support system (SDSS) applied to site analysis.  
    http://www.colorado.edu/geography/gcraft/notes/gisapps/sdss.html
    
    Extractions: (Published in GeoInfo Systems December 1992) In the GeoInfo Systems May '92 issue, Donald Cooke described the general characteristics of a spatial decision support system (SDSS). This article reviews those concepts and extends the discussion by examining SDSS as it has historically applied to site analysis. As described by Donald Cooke in the May '92 issue of GeoInfo Systems, a spatial decision support system (SDSS) is 'canned software that is intuitively obvious to use, solves problems efficiently and delivers immediate results'. SDSS is off-the-shelf software for carefully selected functions, i.e. bug-free point-and-shoot capabilities on very specific spatially-oriented needs. SDSSs don't require in-depth commands to operate, yet allow users to negotiate very sophisticated geographic analysis. Many of the distinctions between GIS and SDSS are derived from the differences in their target audiences. While GIS sites often employ technical analysts to plow through the nitty-gritty of setting up databases and defining complex functions, SDSS sites generally have but one or two business analysts who want to make spatial decisions but don't want to become immersed in the intricacies of GIS. The SDSS users don't seek a smorgasbord of commands, they want a select handful of intuitive operations to yield quick and effective answers. They want to avoid technically complex operations and while they're impressed by GIS' potential, what they really want is three or four buttons and an answer.

    Extractions: Geography Colorado's basic topography can be visualized by dividing the state into vertical thirds: The eastern part is plains; the midsection is high mountains; and the western third is mesa land. That's a broad simplification, of course. The central Rockies, though they cover six times the mountain area of Switzerland, are a series of high ranges running roughly north-south. East of the Continental Divide, the primary river systems are the South Platte, Arkansas, and Rio Grande, all flowing toward the Gulf of Mexico. The westward-flowing Colorado River system dominates the western part of the state, with tributary networks including the Gunnison, Dolores, and Yampa-Green rivers. In most cases, these rivers are not broad bodies of water like the Ohio or Mississippi, but streams heavy with spring and summer snowmelt, which are reduced to mere trickles during much of the year by the demands of farm and ranch irrigation. Besides agricultural use, they provide life-giving water to wildlife and offer wonderful opportunities for rafting and fishing. The forested mountains are essential to retaining precious water for the lowlands. Eleven national forests comprise 15 million acres, and there are 8 million acres controlled by the Bureau of Land Management; these are also open for public recreation. Another half million acres are within national parks, monuments, and recreation areas managed by the National Park Service. In addition to all this, Colorado has more than 40 state parks.

    Extractions: Abbreviation: CO The state's name comes from a Spanish word meaning "red" or "ruddy", the color of much of the state's terrain. Called the "Centennial State", because it became the 38th state when the U.S. turned 100 in 1876, Colorado is most closely associated with the Rocky Mountains and has numerous peaks over 14,000 feet. Prospectors discovered gold in the middle of the last century, and the mining booms beginning in the late 1850s spurred Colorado's initial growth. The state's economy broadened when irrigated agriculture developed, and by the late 19th century livestock raising had become important. Early industry was based on the processing of minerals and agricultural products. In the second half of the 20th century the industrial and service sectors have expanded greatly. The state's economy is diversified and is notable for its concentration of scientific research and high-technology industries. Denver is an important financial center. Colorado is a state of unusual natural beauty. The scenic wonders of the Rocky Mountains attract tourists in both summer and winter. In the summer and fall, visitors enjoy camping, hiking, hunting and fishing. Old mining towns and Native American cliff dwellings lure tourists interested in history. In winter, skiers visit famous Colorado resorts such as Aspen and Vail.

On their western edge the plains give way to the Rocky Mountains , which run north-south through central Colorado. The mountains are divided into several ranges that make up two generally parallel belts, with the Front Range and a portion of the Sangre de Cristo Mts. on the east and the Park Range, Sawatch Mts., and San Juan Mts. on the west. Mt. Elbert (14,433 ft/4,399 m) is the highest peak in the U.S. Rocky Mts. The mountain ranges are separated by high valleys and basins called parks. These include North Park, Middle Park, South Park, Estes Park, and San Luis Park. The Continental Divide runs north-south along the Rocky Mts. in Colorado. One of the most scenic states in the country, Colorado has recreational parks including Rocky Mountain National Park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park with its narrow gorge cut by the Gunnison River, Dinosaur National Monument in NW Colorado, and Great Sand Dunes National Monument in S central Colorado.

The center of the state is approximately 1,500 miles west of the Eastern coast of the United States, 800 miles east of the Western coast, 650 miles south of the northern border with Canada and 475 miles north of the southern border with Mexico. Colorado is bounded on the east by the states of Kansas and Nebraska, on the north by Nebraska and Wyoming, on the west by Utah and on the south by New Mexico and Oklahoma. The boundary lines create an almost perfect rectangle, measuring approxiamtely 387 miles from east to west and 276 miles from north to south and covering 104,247 square miles, including 450 square miles of bodies of water. Colorado is the eighth largest state when measured in square miles area. Colorado is a diverse region of mountains, plateaus, canyons and plains. Generally, the eastern half of the state has flat, high plains and rolling prairies gradually rising westward to the front range foothills and the higher ranges of the Rocky Mountains. The Continental Divide runs from north to south through west central Colorado and bisects the state into the eastern and western slopes. The western half of the state consists of alpine terrain interspersed with wide valleys, rugged canyons, high plateaus and deep basins.
