Supreme Court of Colorado April 15, 1886 (Board of County Commissioners v. Board of County Commissioners)

Elbert, J.

The great range known as the “Sierra Madre” or “Continental Divide,” to which frequent reference must be made in this case, traverses the state from south to north. While its trend is irregular, sweeping far to the west, and then to the east, of a direct northerly line, it both enters and leaves the state substantially at the one hundred and seventh meridian.
