List of Post-offices, Railway and Stage Stations, Camps &c., in Colorado, Population, Counties in which they are Located, and Distances to the Most Important Railroad Points or County Seats.

Distances given are by the nearest Railroad or Stage route. Accompanying the figures for distance, the direction is indicated as follows: n., north; s., south; e., east; w., west; nr., near, etc. In cases where the exact location of new post-offices could not be ascertained, distances are omitted and the points from which they are easiest of access are given. County seats are in italics. Points not reached by regular conveyance are marked “special”.
