The geography of the U.S. State of Colorado is diverse, encompassing both rugged mountainous terrain, vast plains, desert lands, desert canyons, and mesas. Colorado is a landlocked U.S. state. In 1861, the United States Congress defined the boundaries of the new Territory of Colorado exclusively by lines of latitude and longitude, stretching from 37°N to 41°N latitude, and from 102°02'48"W to 109°02'48"W longitude (25°W to 32°W from the Washington Meridian). Starting in 1868, official surveys demarcated the boundaries, deviating from the parallels and meridians in several places. Later surveys attempted to correct some of these mistakes but in 1925 the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed that the earlier demarcation was the official boundary. The borders of Colorado are now officially defined by 6

  • La géographie du Colorado est composée de terrain montagneux, de grandes plaines, de canyons, de désert et de mesas. Le mont Elbert s'élève à 4 401 m près de Leadville et constitue le point culminant de l'État et des Montagnes Rocheuses. Le Colorado a environ 550 sommets au-dessus de 4 000 m. C'est le seul État entièrement au-dessus de 1 000 m. (fr)

  • La geografía de Colorado es muy diversa y comprende tanto territorios montañosos muy accidentados como vastas llanuras. El Estado de Colorado se define como un rectángulo geoesférico que se extiende desde los 37° hasta los 41° de latitud Norte, y, desde los 102°03' a los 109°03 de longitud Oeste (25°O a 32°O del ).​ Colorado es uno de los tres únicos estados de EE. UU. (con Wyoming y Utah) que tiene como fronteras únicamente líneas de latitud y de longitud. (es)
