1959 Map of Eagle Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The high peaks of the Absaroka Range dominate this 1959 survey, marking the intersection of Yellowstone National Park and the Shoshone National Forest. The map documents a primitive backcountry landscape before modern infrastructure reached deep into the wilderness. Remote administrative outposts like the Cabin Creek Patrol Cabin and Trail Creek Patrol Cabin are shown along established routes like the Thorofare Trail, providing a look at the National Park Service's early management of these interior regions. The complex hydrology of the Two Ocean Plateau and the braided delta where the Yellowstone River enters the Southeast Arm of Yellowstone Lake are rendered in fine detail. Notable summits including Eagle Peak, Mt Schurz, and Mt Doane provide orientation points for this survey of the continental divide's high country.
