I am, I just hate heat and hate geography even more. 99% of the country could literally stop existing and I would not notice so long it wasnt my little part of the middle.

I just thought "the desert region" was pretty funny as most of it isn't even desert. I see colored maps like this all the time and I can never figure out what they're trying to represent. According to this map southwest Arizona is greener than Colorado.
Why do you hate geography? I use it to find and explore places most people wouldn't notice.
Elevation maps use a darker color for elevation as each step in height is marked by a line. They still show forests, desert and water as correct colors tho. [Gulag has pretty good maps](https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6855908,-101.4816862,5z/data=!5m1!1e4?entry=ttu) for elevation, terrain, satellite and traffic.
Looking into it closer, half of Colorado is desert, the west side is mountains with trees on the side of the mountains, but that's about it, the valleys are desert too, aside form some massive farm fields, round farm fields covering 1/50 of the state roughly in the mid south area around Alamosa.
Southwest Arizona don't seem to have as much greenery on the mountain sides, but they do have green valleys. Lot's of farm fields there too which are green and the city of Phoenix with it's massive sprawl ensures a lot of green lawns. It's pretty interesting how Americans far out in the desert love their lawns and insist on having them even tho it's hard to maintain a lawn in such conditions.
Colorado is over 30% forest and that's not counting the green prairies so the map definitely doesn't reflect that, this makes it look look like the entire mountain west is the Sahara lol. I'm from near Phoenix and green lawns are actually pretty rare. Most of the "green" shown in the southwest part of the state is just empty desert, no farms.
