The land

What the ground itself is — cover, soils, buildability, water, minerals, and the public land around it.

Buildability
Construction feasibility synthesized across slope, soils, landslide & flood — the constraints a land buyer pays for, joined to one parcel.
Build constraint
Favorable

No significant build constraints in the data available for this parcel.

Partial coverage — based on the soil/geohazard layers present for this parcel; the read sharpens as those backfill.

The snow-load band is a buyer-facing heuristic from annual snowfall, not an engineered ground-snow-load design value — confirm with the local building department before relying on it.

Water security
Decreed surface-water rights & seniority synthesized into one prior-appropriation read — the water question a ranch or land buyer leads with.

Senior

Senior decreed water with priority back to 1887 — a senior priority date under Colorado prior appropriation; what actually conveys, and on what terms, is established by the decrees and title diligence.
