Hi Tom!
When I moved up here to the farm about 9 years ago, I wanted to know
"the lay of the land" as well. I obtained a topographic map for about a buck
from the following address:
U.S. Geological Survey
Denver Colorado 80225
or
U.S. Geological Survey
Washington D.C. 20242
They show, in detain, elevations in about a 5 square mile area! Good detail
and good enough to pinpoint your exact location. Good luck and Happy Holidays.
