The Ranch Company Serving buyers and sellers as clients across all of Colorado regions and sub region and counties.
Regional Breakdown of Colorado Counties by Geographic Sub-Region the Ranch Company serves
Colorado’s 64 counties are commonly understood through a series of geographic and economic regions that reflect settlement patterns, land use, agriculture, recreation, and population density. Organizing counties by region and sub-region helps landowners, investors, and brokers better understand how markets and landscapes function across the state.
The Front Range Urban Corridor contains Colorado’s primary population centers and fastest-growing markets. The North Front Range includes Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer, and Weld counties, reflecting a mix of urban expansion and strong agricultural roots. The Denver Metro Core consists of Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson counties — the state’s economic hub. Further south, the Pikes Peak and South Front Range region includes El Paso, Pueblo, and Teller counties, where urban growth transitions into foothills and ranchland.
Stretching eastward, the Eastern Plains represent Colorado’s agricultural backbone. The Northeast Plains include Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Washington, and Yuma counties, characterized by large-scale farming and open prairie. The East Central Plains consist of Cheyenne, Elbert, Kit Carson, and Lincoln counties, where ranching and dryland agriculture dominate. The Southeast Plains include Baca, Bent, Crowley, Kiowa, Otero, and Prowers counties, known for cattle production and irrigated river valleys.
Moving into higher elevations, the North Central Mountains — Clear Creek, Eagle, Gilpin, Grand, Jackson, Lake, Park, and Summit counties — form Colorado’s high-country core, defined by recreation, tourism, and mountain communities.
On the northern Western Slope, the Yampa and White River Basin region includes Garfield, Moffat, Rio Blanco, and Routt counties, blending energy development, recreation, and large ranch operations.
The Central Mountains and Gunnison Basin encompass Chaffee, Custer, Fremont, Gunnison, Hinsdale, Mineral, Pitkin, and Saguache counties — an area known for alpine terrain, recreation economies, and historic ranching valleys.
Southwest Colorado is divided between the San Juan Mountain counties of Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma, Montrose, Ouray, San Juan, and San Miguel, and the broader Southwest Plateau region of Archuleta, Delta, and Mesa counties, where agriculture, outdoor recreation, and regional trade centers intersect.
Finally, South Central Colorado includes the San Luis Valley — Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, and Rio Grande counties — one of the state’s most productive agricultural basins. Adjacent foothill and prairie landscapes form the Spanish Peaks and Southern Front Range Foothills region, including Huerfano and Las Animas counties.
Understanding Colorado through these regional and sub-regional divisions provides valuable context for land markets, economic trends, and the diverse landscapes that define the state.
