Our area of responsibility covers Southeast
and South Central Colorado, and encompasses the highest (Mt. Elbert, at
14,440 feet above sea level) and lowest ( Holly, at 3387 feet
above sea level) elevations in Colorado. The counties in our area
of responsibility are:
Alamosa, Bent, Baca, Costilla, Conejos, Crowley, Custer, Chaffee,
El Paso, Fremont, Huerfano, Kiowa, Las Animas, Lake, Mineral, Otero,
Prowers, Pueblo, Rio Grande, Saguache and Teller 
The topography of our area is extremely diverse, as you can see from
the topographic map below.
We recently realigned our zones to reflect the topography better. Many
of our zone lines are based on an elevation contour. For a more detailed
