About this map

The high-altitude landscape of the Elk Mountains defines this 2013 survey, where the peaks of Avery Peak and White Rock Mountain tower over the East River valley. The map documents the northern expansion of Mount Crested Butte, detailing residential developments like Gold Link Dr and Overlook Village Rd alongside the historic site of Gothic. This area serves as a primary junction for alpine travel, featuring numerous named mountain passes including Copper Pass, Triangle Pass, and Coffeepot Pass.

Lower elevations are marked by the Crested Butte Cem and the Brush Creek Cow Camp, indicating the long-standing integration of ranching and mountain settlement. Extensive trail networks, such as the Deer Creek Trail and Snodgrass Trail, crisscross the boundary between the White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest. The presence of Judd Falls and Twin Lakes highlights the importance of the local watershed within the rugged basins of Virginia Basin and Queen Basin.
