Abstract
Grand County, with an area of 1,866 square miles, has a maximum relief of nearly 7,000 feet, the lowest point being the bed of the Colorado River at the Grand-Eagle County line, 6,800 feet above sea level; the highest point being disputable, but well over 13,500 feet above sea level. Mean elevation of Grand County is in the neighborhood of 9,000 feet, exact determination not being possible because of lack of accurate maps. The county is a series of flatfloored basins, separated by rough uplands, and surrounded in large part by high mountain ranges. The basin floors,, on which are located the principal settlements and ranches, are at elevations between 7,000 and 9,000 feet above sea level. All areas above 10,000 feet are substantially uninhabited, and practically uninhabitable for nine or more months of the year. A typical basin area-Stillwater Basin-north of
