Colorado Piedmont, Geological formation in north central Colorado, US.
The Colorado Piedmont extends from Denver to Colorado Springs as a broad hilly valley situated below 5000 feet along the Front Range foothills.
The formation emerged 28 million years ago when the North American Plate movement elevated land between Kansas and Utah, causing increased streamflow and erosion.
The Southern Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes maintained settlements in this region before the arrival of European settlers in the mid-nineteenth century.
The region contains shallow wells accessing Pleistocene gravel deposits, which serve as primary irrigation sources for agriculture and livestock operations.
Motorists on Interstate 25 can observe the geological transition at Mile 293, where Upper Cretaceous sandstone drops to lower shale formations.
