Because nature did not know that humans were going to try and name various topographic features, these features were not created in the most orderly fashion. Thus, human-designed pigeonholes for naming topographic features can get a bit messy. Moreover, various features have been named by more than one person. Local usage can also lead to confusion. And, the boundaries of various features are not particularly clear-cut. With those disclaimers, this map is the compiler's best attempt at showing the names and locations of various significant features in Colorado. Where possible, preference was given to the original designers of the features.
