About this map

Yellowstone Lake dominates the southeastern quadrant of this map, serving as the focal point for the settlement at Lake. The landscape is a complex mix of geothermal activity and glacial carving, where features like Dragon's Mouth Spring and Mud Volcano indicate the thermal intensity of the region. Transportation follows the shoreline and river corridors, with the Grand Loop Road and Lake Village Road providing access to the developed areas at Bridge Bay.

Upland from the water, Elephant Back Mtn rises above the valley, while the north is defined by the open expanse of Hayden Valley. Notable landmarks such as the Yellowstone Natural Bridge and the turbulent LeHardys Rapids on the Yellowstone River illustrate the natural landmarks that have drawn travelers to this part of the park for generations. The inclusion of the Fishing Bridge-Canyon Trl and Howard Eaton Trail highlights the established network of backcountry paths used to explore the more secluded thermal areas like Ochre Springs.
