At first glance it looks like a perfect rectangle and this was indeed the intention. The border of Colorado was decided by the United States of America congress as the area from 37 to 41 degree latitude line and from 25 to 32 degree longitude line. This will actually represent a trapezoid. The odd thing here is that although a trapezoid on a globe the state of Colorado does not have only 4 sides, but 697. To see why, you'll have to watch the video. Feel free to write your opinion about this in the commnets. Hope you'll enjoy the video! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transcript: Colorado is a perfect rectangle, except it's not. Every map shows Colorado as having 4 sides, but in reality it has a several more, about 693 more. You see, in 1876, congress decided that the borders of Colorado will stretch from 37 to 41 degree latitude line and from 25 to 32 degree longitude line. They thought they created the perfect rectangle, but they forgot that on a globe, the longitude lines are not parallel, all of them converging at the poles. This makes Colorado look more like a trapezoid, than a rectangle, but still, there should be only 4 sides. In 1879, the boundary survey team begin to follow the cart lines to create the border, but without google maps and only with the help of magnetic compasses it was impossible to precisely follow the lines. The result was a zig-zag line around the longitude and latitude lines, which, if we count, adds up to 697 sides. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to MapTiler / OpenStreetMap Contributors and GEOlayers 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: Music Info: Detective - AShamaluevMusic.
