About this map

Canyon Village serves as the primary hub for travelers in this high-altitude landscape where the Yellowstone River carves its most dramatic path. This 2012 survey illustrates the concentration of visitor infrastructure around Canyon Junction, linked by the winding Grand Loop Rd. The map details the profound thermal and geologic activity of the region, from the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River and Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River to the bubbling features of Sulphur Caldron and Dragons Mouth Spring.

South of the canyon, the terrain opens into the expansive Hayden Valley, a critical riparian corridor fed by Alum Cr and Trout Cr. Researchers can trace the secondary roads like N Rim Dr and S Rim Dr which provide access to famous overlooks such as Artist Point, Inspiration Point, and Grand View. The presence of several named springs and small lakes, including Ribbon Lake and Wrangler Lake, highlights the complex water systems adjacent to the main river channel.
