Company History
The plains are part of what the explorer Stephen Long erroneously labeled the Great American Desert. It is here that many of Boulder County’s towns and cities are located – Longmont, Erie, Lafayette, Louisville, and Superior. Some of the resources found in the plains are rich, irrigated farmlands and rolling pastures, lignite coal, iron ore and small amounts of oil and gas. The land is accented with lakes and ditches which are used mainly for agricultural purposes, the result of human effort to convert the dry soil into productive land.
To the west of the plains are the foothills. Nestled in the valleys against the first, prominent rock formations are Lyons, Boulder and Eldorado Springs. You can see the red rock fountain formation rising above the plains. This area is the source for construction stone, some of it used to build the University of Colorado.
Twisting between and around the rapidly ascending rock formations are the canyons, which serve as gateways to the mountains. They are also the drainage ways, which bring the waters of the North and South St. Vrain, Left Hand, North and South Boulder creeks to the plains. As the terrain rises, you can see signs of Boulder County’s mining towns and history. Of these, a few have survived as communities (such as Gold Hill and Eldora), but only Jamestown, Ward and Nederland are incorporated towns.
The area west of the Peak to Peak Highway is largely owned by the federal government and managed by the U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service. This area extends to the Continental Divide, which forms the western boundary of Boulder County. Boulder County contains major portions of Rocky Mountain National Park, Indian Peaks Wilderness and Roosevelt National Forest.
From dry land wheat farms to alpine tundra, from urban parks to wilderness, from “high-tech” recreation centers to historic landmarks, Boulder County is a wonderful conglomeration of nature’s gifts and human handiwork.
