City/Town Pop.
Note: Tierra Amarilla estimate used for Aces & Eights town of
Pritchett’s Rock. The Las Vegas estimate was used for San Miguel.
Population Notes: Estimates were derived from populations listed in the book
“Population History of Western U.S. Cities and Towns, 1850-1990” by Riley
Moffat as well as U.S. Federal Census records for 1860 and 1870.
Towns and Town names: Alamosa was founded in 1878 with the advent of the
railroad in the area. With the additional activity in the Cauldron in the
Aces & Eights setting, the founding was advanced by 10-12 years for purposes
of the Denver Express Stage Line. Town names used for the Aces & Eights
setting were used if known; otherwise the actual names were used.
