Within Colorado the San Luis Valley is generally considered to comprise six Colorado counties: Saguache, Alamosa, Rio Grande, Conejos, Costilla and Mineral.

South of Alamosa it is joined by several streams from the west including the Alamosa River and the Conejos River and Culebra Creek from the east.

Deeper alluvial strata, overlying Precambrian basement rock, Eocene alluvial deposits from a shallow Laramide depression, the Blanco Basin Formation ; and Oligocene ash and lava flows associated with the Conejos Formation, is the Santa Fe formation, mixed alluvium and lava outflows from the San Juan volcanic field to the west ; later strata comprise the Alamosa formation, alternating layers of sand, gravel, and clay.

Much of the land in the south part of the Valley, in Conejos and Costilla counties, was originally part of large Mexican land grants and is private land.

A significant portion of the residents of the San Luis Valley are Hispanic with historic populations in Costilla and Conejos counties which were settled by early migrants from New Mexico.

From San Luis, the National Geographic road trip suggests traveling west on Colorado State Highway 142 through Manassa, Colorado, then south on United States Highway 285 past Conejos, Colorado then west on Colorado State Highway 17 over Cumbres Pass to Chama, New Mexico paralleling the route of the narrow gauge Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad.

Conejos County was one of the original 17 counties created by the General Assembly of the Territory of Colorado on 1861-11-01, although it was originally named Guadalupe County and renamed Conejos County a week later, on November 7.

Also early in its existence, the county seat was moved from the town of Guadalupe to Conejos.

In 1874, most of the western and northern portions of the county were broken away to form parts of Hinsdale, La Plata and Rio Grande counties, and Conejos County achieved its modern borders in 1885 when its western half was taken to create Archuleta County.

A jacal went up in 1854 in Guadalupe, now known as Conejos, which was the beginning of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish.

Archuleta County was created by the Colorado legislature on April 14, 1885, out of western Conejos County.

It is one of the ironic quirks of history that the viability and usefulness of nationalism and the territorial state are rapidly dissipating at precisely the time that the nation-state attained its highest number ( approximately 100 ).

What Krim ignores, in his contempt for history and for accuracy, is that these magazines, Partisan foremost, brought about a genuine revolution in the American mind from the mid-thirties to approximately 1950.

Bostitch, Inc. is approximately half way through a 10-year exemption of their real estate tax.

At a rate of $3.22 an hour he is now earning approximately $580 a month.

In the case of taxpaying corporate stockholders, the measure would be the lesser of the fair market value of the shares or Du Pont's tax basis for them, which is approximately $2.09 per share.

The area available at Heywood is approximately three times the size of the former Rochdale and Manchester locations.

The expectation is that first-level supervisors will be selected in approximately equal numbers from the second and third engineering level, with very few coming from the first level.

In free-burning electric arcs, for instance, approximately 90% of the total arc power is transferred to the anode giving rise to local heat fluxes in excess of Af as measured by the authors -- the exact value depending on the arc atmosphere.

Each specimen is approximately 16 inches square.

Thus, the efficiency **yt couplers is given by -- Af or approximately 50 percent each.

The time required for the system to reach a level position is approximately inversely proportional to the servo loop gain.

In addition, the cutoff frequency for input accelerations is approximately proportional to the servo loop gain ; ;

Dartmouth is numerically still a small college today, with approximately twenty-nine hundred undergraduates.

The fire ant is thought to infest approximately two million acres of land in Georgia, attacking crops, young wildlife and livestock and can be a serious health menace to humans who are allergic to its venom, Blasingame said.

The total number of known amphibian species is approximately 7, 000, of which nearly 90 % are frogs.

The numbers of species cited above follow Frost and the total number of known amphibian species is approximately 7, 000, of which nearly 90 % are frogs.

The number of neutrons, N, is known as the neutron number of the atom ; thus, A = Z + N. Since protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass ( and the mass of the electrons is negligible for many purposes ), and the mass defect is usually very small compared to the mass, the atomic mass of an atom is roughly equal to A.

Covering approximately 22 % of Earth's surface, the Atlantic is second in size to the Pacific.

In contrast, the largest North American community north of the circle, Sisimiut ( Greenland ), has approximately 5, 000 inhabitants, while between Canada and the USA, Barrow, Alaska is the largest settlement with circa 4, 000 inhabitants.

Since a coulomb is approximately equal to elementary charges ( such as electrons ), one ampere is approximately equivalent to elementary charges moving past a boundary in one second, or the reciprocal of the value of the elementary charges in coulombs.
