COLORADO RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES. 
The drainage area of the Colorado extends (Fig. 7 ) into the southeast 
corner of New Mexico, and in its course it is fed by the waters of the 
Conchos, the Pecan Bayou, the San Saba, the Llano, and the Pedernales. 
The first use of the water for irrigation or power purposes occurs on the 
North Concho, in Sterling county, where the McGee Irrigating Company 
built a dam in 1894. There are ten dams across the Concho in Tom 
Figure 7.
