1956 Map of Huckleberry Mountain

About this map

Yellowstone National Park, Teton National Forest, and Grand Teton National Park converge on this mid-century topographic survey, documenting the transition between these iconic high-country preserves. The Snake River flows south through the dramatic Snake River Canyon, flanked by the geothermal features of the Pitchstone Plateau and the high ridges of the Red Mountains. This era shows the region's wilderness management infrastructure, including the Snake River Ranger Sta and the Snake River Lookout Sta. Flagg Ranch serves as a primary waypoint for travelers moving between the parks, situated just north of the Jackson Lake shoreline and Lizard Point. The map captures the complex drainage systems of Polecat Creek and Crawfish Creek, alongside landmarks like Moose Falls and the steaming Phantom Fumarole, providing a snapshot of the landscape before modern development altered the visitor experience.
