1911 Map of Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Yellowstone National Park reveals its early 20th-century character through a network of stage roads and iconic tourist lodgings before the era of modern pavement. Centered on the Grand Canyon Of The Yellowstone, this map showcases the establishment of the early park experience at the Canyon Hotel and Canyon Lodge. The transition from frontier outpost to managed park is evident in sites like Yanceys and the Roosevelt Lodge, along with various remote snowshoe cabins used by early rangers for winter patrols. Geothermal features are meticulously noted, ranging from the well-known Dragons Mouth Spr and Mad Volcano to the clustered vents of The Mudkettles and Mushpots. Along the northern edge, the Buffalo Ranch and the Fossil Forest highlight the early focus on wildlife conservation and geological preservation during this formative era of federal land management.
