Preface

This is hardly a Colorado history book. It is, rather, a directory of places in Colorado, past and present — all kinds of places. In fact, it is the most complete such guide to be found in a single reference. No previously published directory comes close to its extent or depth of coverage.

The Colorado of the bustling mining camp, railroad whistlestop, and primitive geology is gone. But the names remain in the records of its miners, railroad men, and explorers. Where were these places? Have their names changed over time? Were some ever on a map? These are the questions this guide seeks to answer. It travels the backroads, not the Interstates. It sifts through many indexes, directories, and guides to provide an easily researchable reference, and it also points the researcher toward, for the most part, other readily available resources. Should any site important to the reader not be mentioned, we apologize and would appreciate any available information.

Historical reference books have often been thought of as an hourglass storing time. The grains of history filter to the glass' bottom—slowly, methodically, predictably. But, when you turn the hourglass over—as when a new reader opens a book—history once again trickles out. And, as every genealogist knows, to research his family is to research history.

This "hourglass" constitutes a significant contribution to the research resources of the Colorado genealogical and historical community. It is with great pride that the Colorado Council of Genealogical Societies publishes this important work. And it is with much gratitude that the Council recognizes the Guide's Compiler, Donald R. Elliott and Editor, Doris L. Elliott. Their generosity, dedication, encouragement and support is indefatigable.

Not to be overlooked is the cooperation and support of Mrs. Arvid D. Blecha, who made her husband's original manuscript of Colorado Place Names available for the Elliotts' reference. We are most indebted.

Introduction

In searching for a place name in Colorado, researchers have had no comprehensive publication readily available to them. The researcher has had to look under the subject of Colorado ghost towns, or, seek out often obscure maps and documents not readily avin local libraries in hopes of finding out about a particular site.

Thus, in putting together this publication, the primary objective was to compile a comprehensive listing of place names or sites in Colorado that would direct the rto recent and readily available publications. The genealogist or historian searching foinformation about a particular location has here a first level document that provides identifying information and then points to a second level document where more detailed information can be found. Most of the documents cited are in circulation at many of the state's libraries or are currently in print and available through local bookstores. In additionmost of the referenced publications include their own references, thereby giving the researcher a third resource level.

One important exception to the inclusion of only readily available publications is the AD. (Mike) Blecha manuscript titled Colorado Place Names. The only known copy accessible to the public is housed at the Western History Department of the Denver PLibrary. However, it is by far the most comprehensive work available on the subject, contains section, township and range coordinates which none of the other cited publications have. Further, it contains a significant number of place names not found inother source. Through the cooperation and support of Mrs. Blecha, the original manuswas made available so it could be used in completing this book.

Included in this publication for each site or place name, when the information was available, are other names or spellings associated with a particular site, the earliest date evidence of that site existed, identifying information such as the railroad through the site, post office dates, section/township/range coordinates, and other information helpful in locating the site. In many cases, two counties are listed for a particular site. This has three meanings. One, and the most prevalent, is that county boundaries change over time and thsite was first in one county, then later another. Secondly, a site may overlap two counLastly, in some instances authors disagree over a site's location, or are simply in error. Some named sites moved their location during their existence. One author may have picked up on this while another did not, thus assuming that information about both locations applied to the only one of which he was aware.

mmunity.

The Arvid D. Blecha work is most likely to have uncovered the existence of multiple sias he plotted all sites he could identify on his personal set of maps. Multiple sites for onsettlement name are identified in this work in two ways. First, they are identified as separate sites with separate entries identifying them as such. Second, when an alternate section/township/range coordinate is given, attention is drawn to both locations. Note that many settlement boundaries spilled over onto more than one section. In these cases this publication lists only one of the sections. The intent was to conserve space but still point the researcher to the site. And, finally, be aware that mapmakers sometimes made errors, with sites wrongly plotted and names misspelled. The user will therefore occasionally find discrepancies in the information provided by the various authors and will need to resolve these to his own satisfaction.

This listing includes 10,625 names. The Blecha manuscript contains information for a7,450 names. The next most comprehensive work, Atlas of Colorado Ghost Towns (Reference 3), contains information for about 4,200 names. Until a more comprehensive publication is produced, it is hoped that this one will be helpful to the research co

It contains some landmarks such as hills, mountains, creeks and gulches for locating the settlements. It also lists many of the mines of the mountain towns, and in some cases plots them on the maps. It is the single, most complete, source of place names. It is available for sale and most libraries have this book on their shelves. Many libraries have this book in circulation. If not, it should be found in the reference section.

4. Ghosts of the Colorado Plains by Perry Eberhart, 1986

v


This publication discusses in detail some interesting places in Colorado that include trails, stage stations, farm towns, mining towns and many other interesting locations. It includes small hand drawn maps and many pictures. It is must reading if the site is referenced in the body of this publication.

5. Hiking the Highest Passes by Bob Martin, 1984

Although this publication is for the hiking crowd, it provides excellent information on the location of the passes included. It provides the county, national forest and the topographic maps to help locate the passes. Although it does not cover all passes, it is generally available in libraries, usually in circulation.

6. A Guide to Places on the Colorado Prairie by Ray Shaffer, 1989, 1990, 1991

A series of six small booklets, these publications are available at some libraries. The counties covered, individually, are Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Elbert, Jefferson and Weld. The publications contain descriptive information about the start of towns, the naming of the towns and other interesting information about the towns, past and present, and railroad locations. Handmade maps help locate sites. The author does not cite his sources.

7. Mountain Passes by Clyde and Chloe Edmondson, 1963

This publication was produced for those interested in driving to the remote mountain passes. For the researcher, it provides good information on the locations of many passes. It is not a complete book on Colorado passes, but is generally available in libraries and circulates.

8. Guide to the Colorado Mountains by Robert Ormes, 1979

This publication is for those interested in mountain climbing. However, it has excellent descriptive information on trails, creeks or gulches leading to the mountain peaks. Landmarks on the trails are often mines. It is generally available in libraries and circulates.

9. Historic Forts of Colorado by Dick and Wendy Spurr, 1994

This publication covers the locations of many of the old forts of Colorado, many of which were primarily trading posts, but also stockades for protection of people and supplies. This book is also generally available in libraries and circulates.

10. The Colorado Pass Book by Don Koch, 1987

This publication lists 62 passes and locates them on maps. It also provides the national forest, the county and the elevations of the passes. The book is generally available in libraries and circulates.

11. Colorado's High Thirteeners by Mike Garratt and Bob Martin, 1984

This publication is the most complete of the mountain books. Again, it is published for mountain climbers, but contains a complete listing of the 636 13,000 foot and higher summits. 417 of these summits are named while 219 remained unnamed. Route descriptions are given for the 169 highest thirteeners (13,580 feet and above). Quads, elevations, neighboring peaks and other information is included. This book is generally available in libraries and circulates.

12. Colorado's Post Offices 1859-1989 by William H. Bauer, James L. Ozment and John H. Willard, 1990

This publication is a comprehensive listing of Post Offices, Stations and Branches in Colorado. It includes the sequence of counties from early county structure to present day location. As well as the inclusive dates the post office existed for specified sites, it lists name changes and where post offices moved from and to in the time periods before and after its tenure at a specific site.

13. Colorado Mining Camps by David Southworth, 1997

This publication provides a story about many of the early mining camps. It provides names of mines or miners, stories of town activity and statistics.

14. Colorado Place Names by Arvid D. Blecha, 1987 (Manuscript)

This Blecha compilation is the most complete place name works that exists for Colorado. The problem with the Blecha compilation is that it only exists in one public institution available to researchers, the Western History Department, Denver Public Library. A First Search of the Worldwide Catalog revealed no other institution where this manuscript could be found. This manuscript contains a chronological history of the counties of Colorado. It refers to many early maps and publications as a source for information contained in the manuscript.

Note: At the time of publication, the Arvid D. Blecha Manuscript was used. This has now been published as Blecha's Colorado Place Names.

15. Colorado Mountain Ranges by Jeff Rennicke

This publication is a good reference for the mountain ranges of Colorado.

Explanation of Headings

Name

Name of site, landmark or geographical feature. All known names, or all names an author has shown for a site are included in ( )s. Some of the other names conflict from one author to another and some are in error. However, even those named in error are usually located at or near the named site.

County

County or counties where site is located. Counties are shown as the authors of referenced books have shown them. Some authors may have used the county where the site was located at the time the site existed or last existed, and some authors show the county where it would currently reside if the site still existed.

1949 Atlas If noted with an "X", that site can be found on the referenced 1949 Atlas. 1996 Atlas If noted with an "X", that site can be found on the referenced 1996 Atlas.

Co Seat If noted with an "X”, that site is a current county seat. Sites that were county seats, at one time in the past, are noted with an "x".

Type This column lists, in general terms, the classification of the site. These are very general classifications and the notes may provide more detail as to the type of a site it is. The "Type" column was mainly used for sorting.

Reference This column shows the number of the document where additional information can be expected to be found. Some or all of the information in the listing came from these sources.

Notes This is identifying information about the site that came from the referenced documents. Some of the information shown here can conflict from one author to another.

S/T/R

This column contains the section, township and range of the site. Although some settlements were on multiple sections, only one of the sections is shown. When maps have shown conflicting information, or possibly when places changed location there is another S/T/R listed in the Notes section.

Occasionally there is conflicting information from one author to another. This publication does not resolve the conflict, but lists the information,

leaving it to the reader or researcher to resolve the conflicts.
