1961 Map of Gothic

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Gothic stands at the heart of this high-altitude landscape, where the Gunnison National Forest and White River National Forest converge along the crest of the Elk Mountains. Mapped in the early 1960s, the terrain shows a transition from historical mining activity, evidenced by scattered mines and prospects near Copper Creek and Virginia Basin, toward the region's emerging identity as a winter recreation destination. This shift is captured by the early infrastructure for skiing, including a Ski Tow and the Bondola Lift on the slopes of Crested Butte.
