About this map

Yellowstone National Park reveals its early federal management and raw geothermal character in this survey based on fieldwork from the mid-1880s. The landscape is a complex network of thermal features and dramatic topography, anchored by the Lamar River and the high peaks of the Absaroka Range. Early travelers and scientists documented specific landmarks such as the Fossil Forest and the treacherous Death Gulch, while early infrastructure like Yanceys and the Hotel near Bridge Bay provided the only permanent human presence in the wilderness.
