About this map

The northern reaches of Yellowstone National Park appear in meticulous detail following the 1884-5 field surveys by Frank Tweedy. This landscape is defined by its hydrothermal activity and dramatic relief, featuring numerous thermal landmarks such as Calcite Springs, Joseph Coat Springs, and the Mud Geysers near the Lamar River. The map captures the park before widespread infrastructure, noting early visitor accommodations like the Hotel on the northern shore of Yellowstone Lake and the outpost at Yanceys near the junction of the Yellowstone River and Tower Creek.
