About this map

Yellowstone Lake dominates this wilderness landscape, where the cold waters of the eastern shore meet the high backcountry of Park County. This particular stretch of the shoreline is marked by prominent landforms such as Elk Point and Signal Point, which have long served as navigational markers for those traversing the lake. The interior reveals a series of drainages, including Cub Cr and Meadow Cr, that feed the massive lake system from the surrounding mountains.

Frank Island stands as a significant landmass within the water, while on the eastern bank, the Park Point Patrol Cabin represents the light footprint of administrative oversight in this protected environment. This survey captures the coastline and its few human imprints, such as the patrol cabin at Park Point, during a period of modern conservation, showing the enduring character of the park's eastern interior.
