1961 Map of Crested Butte
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
Crested Butte sits at the foot of Gibson Ridge and Whetstone Mtn in this 1961 field-checked survey of the Elk Mountains. The landscape is defined by the confluence of the Slate River and East River, where a network of water-management features like Verzuh Ditch and Bafand Ditch supported local ranching operations at Cold Spring Ranch. Evidence of the area's transition from an industrial mining hub to a recreational and forest-management region is visible in the abandoned Old Railroad Grade that snakes along the river valleys and the presence of the Bulkley Mine (Site) east of the main townsite.
