Palmer Divide

The Palmer Divide is a ridge in central Colorado that separates the Arkansas River basin from the Platte River basin. It is named after William Jackson Palmer, the founder of Colorado Springs. It staggers along the county line between Douglas County and El Paso County. This divide separates the Denver metropolitan area from the Pikes Peak area.
