2015 Map of Lake Butte

About this map

Yellowstone Lake dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, its shoreline marked by prominent landmarks like Storm Point, Holmes Point, and Steamboat Point. Within Yellowstone National Park, the terrain rises toward the north and east, transitioning from the wide Pelican Valley into the high elevations of the Sulphur Hills and the peak of Stonetop Mtn. Hydrothermal activity is evident across the sheet, indicated by numerous thermal features such as Beach Springs, Turbid Springs, and Steamboat Springs. Access to these remote areas is primarily via the E Entrance Rd or through a network of backcountry paths including the Howard Eaton-Fishing Bridge Trail and the Turbid Lake Trail. The map also captures the confluence of the Yellowstone River and Pelican Creek, alongside smaller water bodies like Indian Pond and Turbid Lake.
