2019 Map of Gothic

About this map

The high-altitude landscape of the Elk Mountains dominates this 2019 survey, defined by the sharp peaks of Avery Peak, White Rock Mtn, and Teocalli Mtn. The settlement of Gothic sits in the valley of Copper Cr near Judd Falls, serving as a gateway to the high passes of the White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest. To the south, the expansion of Mount Crested Butte is evident in the dense network of recreation and mountain biking trails including the Meander Trail, Prospector Trail, and Painter Boy Trail. This modern record captures the intersection of wilderness preservation and resort development, showing how the local economy has shifted toward seasonal tourism and outdoor recreation. The map also includes the Crested Butte Cemetery and the northern residential extent of Crested Butte near the Slate River.
