Inappropriate tone date November 2010 Palmer Ranch is a massive real estate real estate developer development in Sarasota County , Florida between the cities of Sarasota and Osprey. Located very roughly by Clark Road, Tamiami Trail and Interstate 75 , it was part of the original 80,000 acres 320 km of Florida land purchased by Bertha Palmer Bertha Honor Palmer , wife of Chicago department store tycoon Potter Palmer , best known for the famed Palmer House hotel in Chicago. It is one of many former Florida cattle ranches developed into planned communities the other most notable ranch conversion in the Sarasota Bradenton area is Lakewood Ranch . Bertha Palmer, known as Mrs. Potter Palmer, came to Sarasota in 1910, and made a property on Little Sarasota Bay called Spanish Point her winter home. A progressive woman, she improved agricultural methods and added lavish gardens and buildings today that land is the Historic Spanish Point garden and historic site. While the house The Oaks is gone, outbuildings and landscape remain, including remnants of designs by Achilles Duchene , after whom the Duchene Garden is named. Other former Palmer family holdings now open to the public include the Myakka River State Park and an expansion of Oscar Scherer State Park . After her death, Bertha Palmer gave the land to her sons Potter Jr. and Honore, who continued developing the property as a ranch. In addition, they make the Palmer name as associated with Sarasota as Chicago with the establishment of the Palmer Bank . Today, much of the ranch is developed into subdivisions, shopping centers and a shopping mall mall , though parts of the ranch still have cattle operations.

The Palmer Divide is a ridge in central Colorado that separates the Arkansas River basin from the Missouri River via the Platte River basin. It extends from the Front Range of the Rockies in central Colorado, eastward toward the town of Limon. It is named after William Jackson Palmer , the founder of Colorado Springs . It staggers along the county line between Douglas County, Colorado Douglas County and El Paso County, Colorado El Paso County . This divide separates the Denver metropolitan area from the Pikes Peak area. The elevation varies between 6,000 and 7,500 feet, with the divide s highest point at Monument Hill. ref http www.thedenverchannel.com weather 14144667 detail.html 7News. Where is That? The Different Regions of Colorado. ref This terrain feature is the cause of several small scale, or microscale weather patterns, and can make a great difference in the weather between Denver and Colorado Springs. Although this elevation technically qualifies it for the foothills category, it does not parallel a mountain chain as foothills do. The Palmer Divide is perpendicular to the mountains. Due to the orientation of the Palmer Divide with respect to the eastern plains, the weather can be similar to the foothills during active weather with enhanced precipitation, especially during snowstorms. Cities and towns within the Palmer Divide include Castle Rock, Colorado Castle Rock , Franktown, Elizabeth, Kiowa, Monument, Black Forest, Sedalia and Palmer Lake .
