Population 412,198. Colorado has a land area of 103,645 square miles. The surface consists of mountains and parks, foothills and plains. It is intersected by the Sierra Madre range of the Rocky Mountains, among which are several of the highest peaks, including Pike's, Long's and many others. The mountains enclose wonderful valleys or basins, known as parks, which are well timbered. The eastern part of the State is an immense plain, well adapted to stock-raising. Agriculture is limited, as irrigation is necessary to a good production of all crops. Cattle-raising and sheep-farming are the chief agricultural pursuits.
