A Colorado Borderland at the Junction Between Two Wests

Historian and Estes Park local Adam Thomas explores how the social and geographic boundary known locally as the “Tortilla Curtain” took shape in southern Colorado, separating the wealthier northern region around Colorado Springs from the more industrial and culturally diverse City of Pueblo. Drawing on environmental, urban, and architectural history, Thomas shows how ideas about space and culture in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries helped create and reinforce this internal line of division, shaping patterns of investment, development, and identity across the state.
