1911 Map of Canyon

About this map

Yellowstone National Park reveals its early twentieth-century character in this 1911 edition, documented by topographer Frank Tweedy. The landscape is defined by the massive thermal and geological features that earned the park its status, from the Fossil Forest and Petrified Trees to the active geothermal zones of the Crater Hills and numerous unnamed Hot Springs. Early hospitality and administrative hubs are established at the Canyon Hotel and Lake Hotel, while smaller outposts like Snowshoe Cabin and the Buffalo Farm reflect the operational needs of the park's formative years.
