2001 Map of Oh-Be-Joyful

About this map

Mining heritage and alpine wilderness converge in this detailed record of the high country north of Crested Butte. The Slate River and East River valleys anchor a landscape defined by dramatic peaks like Gothic Mountain and Mount Emmons. Historical industrial activity is etched into the terrain, from the Pittsburg Mine in Poverty Gulch to the Painter Boy Mine near Elkton. These scattered sites, along with the Augusta Mine beneath Augusta Mountain, recall the late 19th-century silver and coal booms that shaped the Gunnison region.
