Some thoughts on the problems and inconsistencies caused by Colorado's decision not to co-sign US routes where they're joined with interstates (including a photo of the last remaining US 87 shield in the state).

Colorado toponymy (or geographic names)
Several Colorado placenames have difficult, confusing, and/or unexpected pronunciations.

Colorado colloquialisms
Learn about the sometimes-peculiar names many Coloradoans use when referring to specific places in our state.

Colorado antipodes
If you were to dig a hole straight down through the center of the Earth, you'd end up in China, right? Actually, no. But the truth is very interesting...

Colorado cities by population
This map is helpful for visualizing the rankings.

Welcome to Colorful Colorado
This map shows locations where highways enter the state (as well as select other roads).

Colorado highway map babes
During the mid-20th-century, CDoT printed some eye-candy along with its official state maps.

The Washington Meridian

Birds I've spotted (most of them here in Colorado).

Matt Salek has a bunch of other good stuff about Colorado highways and geography.

The lowest elevation in Colorado
There's still a lot of misinformation about the state's true lowpoint.

State highpoints:

Watersheds:

Headwaters Hill, Colorado
A geographically-significant mountain: water at its summit drains into three separate basins which never meet.

Three Waters Mountain, Wyoming
Another major triple-divide, this one draining into the Columbia, Colorado, and Mississippi watersheds.

Parting of the Waters, Wyoming
A National Natural Landmark, where a single stream simultaneously contributes water to both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

State corners:

Geographic centers:

Center of the 48 contiguous states

Misc. highway history, roadtrips, and commentary:

Maps illustrating how the "number-direction parity" concept is fairly well-implemented among the vast majority of US routes (that is, east-west routes are assigned even numbers, and north/south routes have odd numbers).

Stateline portmanteaus
Town names that were invented by combining the names of two or more states.
