About this map

Gothic stands as a focal point in this high-altitude landscape, situated at the confluence of the East River and Copper Creek. The mapping reveals a transition from the developing residential and recreational footprint at Mt Crested Butte to the preserved expanse of the Maroon Bells Snowmass Wilderness. A network of historic routes, including the Trail Riders Trail and Copper Creek Trail, navigates the complex terrain of the Elk Mountains, connecting landmarks such as Avery Peak and White Rock Mountain.

Evidence of historical land use is visible in the placement of a small Cem and the Brush Creek Cow Camp, hinting at the region's ranching and early settlement heritage. Industrial and utility footprints are sparse but noted, with a Pump Station and various Mine sites located near the southern boundary. The presence of Judd Falls and numerous basins like Virginia Basin and Queen Basin illustrates the glaciated topography that characterizes this section of the Gunnison National Forest.
