1961 Map of Gothic

About this map

The high-altitude settlement of Gothic stands as a focal point in the rugged Elk Mountains, situated near Judd Falls and the drainage of Copper Creek. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a landscape of transition, where the historic mining era leaves traces such as the local Cemetery and various Mine sites, while new recreational infrastructure like a Ski Tow and Gondola Lift appear near the base of Crested Butte. The map captures the meeting point of the White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest along the high ridges of the Elk Mountains.
