About this map

Yellowstone Lake dominates this landscape, its expansive waters surrounding Frank Island and several prominent landforms along the eastern shore. The map illustrates a remote section of Yellowstone National Park, where the water meets the timbered slopes of the Absaroka Range. Along the rugged shoreline, distinct geographic features like Elk Point, Park Point, and Signal Point serve as markers for boaters and backcountry travelers navigating the park's interior.

South of these points, the land extends into the water at The Promontory, a peninsula located near Plover Point. The topography rises steeply from the shoreline, with several small waterways such as Cub Cr and Meadow Cr draining into the lake. This survey documents the intersection of Teton and Park counties within the protected boundaries of the nation's first national park, providing a precise record of the shoreline and elevation contours as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
