2017 Map of Canyon Village

About this map

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone forms the dramatic center of this 2017 survey, where the Yellowstone River carves through the volcanic landscape of Yellowstone National Park. Near the canyon's edge, Canyon Village and Canyon Junction serve as primary visitor hubs, connected by the Grand Loop Road. Remarkable geological features are mapped in detail, from the sheer heights of Inspiration Point and Artist Point to the thermal activity found at Mud Pots, Sulphur Caldron, and Dragons Mouth Spring. Further south, the terrain opens into the broad Hayden Valley, a critical habitat where Alum Cr and Trout Cr meander toward the river. Historical footpaths like the Howard Eaton Trail and the Mary Mountain-Nez Perce Trail trace the movements of early explorers and Indigenous people across this protected wilderness.
