- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. From the Watershed there is only one voucher for valley sedge: in "mesic to hydric disturbed roadside" at North pass (Saguache Co, 1992). Otherwise in southern Colorado the distribution of Carex vallicola lies in the San Juan River drainage. The lower USA distribution is scattered through all Western states except for Arizona and New Mexico. So the one Watershed occurrence at North Pass represents the only location in the Rio Grande drainage.
