About this map

Gothic and Mount Crested Butte anchor this high-altitude landscape within the Gunnison National Forest. The map documents a complex network of recreational and historic paths, including the Copper Creek Trail, Deer Creek Trail, and Teocalli Mountain Trail, which traverse the high peaks of the Elk Mountains. Notable summits such as Avery Peak, White Rock Mtn, and Teocalli Mtn dominate the skyline, while drainage patterns are defined by the E River and its numerous tributaries like Rustler Gulch and W Brush Cr.

Lower elevations show the transition from wilderness to established settlements, featuring the Crested Butte Cem and the Meridian Lake Park Reservoir Number 1. The presence of the Verzuh-Young-Inland Ditch reflects the area's water management history, while family-named landmarks like Washington Gulch suggest early pioneer footprints in this mountainous terrain. The map captures the meeting of Pitkin and Gunnison counties at Coffeepot Pass.
