1911 Map of Canyon

About this map

The Lamar River and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River define this high-altitude landscape during a period of early twentieth-century park development. The map details an era when backcountry outposts and early tourist accommodations were the primary human imprints on the wilderness. Key lodging points such as the Canyon Hotel and Lake Hotel are visible, alongside smaller historic sites like Yanceys and the Buffalo Farm. The intricate drainage system includes Soda Butte Creek and Pelican Creek, feeding into the northern reaches of Yellowstone Lake.
