1955 Map of Gardiner

About this map

Gardiner serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of the Montana-Wyoming border, situated at the North Entrance Yellowstone National Park. The landscape is dominated by the confluence of the Yellowstone River and Gardiner, where the topography transitions from the mountain peaks of the Gallatin National Forest into the dramatic Black Canyon of the Yellowstone River. Near the settlement of Jardine, the map documents industrial and recreational footprints including quarries on Mineral Hill and the Jardine-Hellroaring Trail. Further east, peaks like Buffalo Mtn and Crevice Mtn rise above the river valley. The presence of Blanding Sta and a local Cem near the park boundary provides valuable data for genealogists tracing early residents of Park County and those associated with the gateway to the nation's first national park.
