About this map

Mary Mountain-Nez Perce Trail traverses the high country of Yellowstone National Park, following a path of significant historical movement across the Central Plateau. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by its geothermal and hydrological complexity, where Highland Hot Springs sits at the northern edge of the quadrangle. The map captures the varied terrain from the broad opening of Hayden Valley to the prominent peak of Mary Mtn.

Water features dominate the interior wilderness, including the secluded Beach Lake and Dryad Lake. The drainage network is clearly articulated through numerous named waterways such as Alum Cr, Trout Cr, and Arnica Cr, which carve through the high-elevation forests and meadows. The boundary between Park and Teton Counties cuts horizontally across the sheet, marking a jurisdictional line through this protected landscape.
