1961 Map of Gothic

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The settlement of Gothic sits at the base of Snodgrass Mountain, serving as a focal point for this high-altitude landscape in the early 1960s. This survey records a transition from traditional livestock and resource extraction to modern recreation, evidenced by the presence of a Ski Tow and Gondola Lift near Crested Butte. The geography is defined by the sharp peaks of the Elk Mountains, including Avery Peak and White Rock Mountain, which separate the Gunnison National Forest from the White River National Forest. Local history is rooted in the drainages of the East River and Slate River, where a Mine and the Verzuh Ditch mark the footprints of earlier industry and water management. Further east, the Brush Creek Cow Camp and various pack trails through the Conundrum Basin indicate the continued use of these remote valleys for grazing and backcountry transit.
