That was then (1953)
From chapter 54:
The top of Berthoud Pass is a part of the Continental Divide. In the direction of the view, water runs southward into the Hoop Creek, into Clear Creek, into the Platte River, into the Missouri, and into the Mississippi, and finally reaches the Gulf of Mexico. But water falling on this side of the crest runs out toward the Colorado River, and eventually should reach the Gulf of California, unless -- as is more likely these days -- it is retained behind a dam and runs out eventually from a Los Angeles water faucet.
This is now.
