1911 Map of Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The Lamar River and Yellowstone Lake serve as the primary anchors for this wilderness survey, based on work from the 1880s with revisions through 1910. Early tourism infrastructure is evident through established waypoints such as Yanceys, the Roosevelt Lodge, and the Canyon Hotel near the spectacular Lower Falls (308 feet). The map details a landscape of geological wonders and remote outposts, including the Buffalo Ranch on the Lamar River and various Snowshoe Cabins utilized for winter patrols. Strategic transit points like the Fishing Bridge and the Lake-Canyon Road illustrate the era's developing travel network. From the Absaroka Range in the east to the high Buffalo Plateau in the north, the terrain is marked by hydrothermal features like Turbid Sprs and the dense fossilized remains within the Fossil Forest.
