	Antique Maps and Prints of Historic Colorado, with a brief History, Topography, Climate and Population.
		The Rio Grande del Norte rises in the Saguache range of mountains, and flows south through the San Luis park, but the Colorado river can scarcely be considered as belonging to the State from which it derives several of its principal tributaries, and to which it gave a name.
		Climate: The air is drier and the range of temperature less than in the Eastern States in the same latitude.
		On the mountains the winters are as a rule severe, with heavy falls of snow in November and December, but on the plains and in the valleys the mildness and purity of the atmosphere are such as to render Colorado the paradise of invalids, thousands of whom re-sort there.
