2017 Map of Lake

About this map

Yellowstone Lake defines the southeastern geography of this area, with Bridge Bay providing a protected harbor along the western shoreline. Thermal activity is concentrated to the north near Hayden Valley, where geologic features including Dragons Mouth Spring, Mud Geyser, and the Black Dragons Caldron highlight the unique geothermal character of the region. The map captures the infrastructure of Yellowstone National Park at a time when the Grand Loop Road and Gull Point Drive facilitated access to the water's edge.
