1885 Map of Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Yellowstone Lake dominates this wilderness landscape, showing the complex aquatic geography of the Flat Mountain Arm, South Arm, and South East Arm. The 1885 survey, overseen by geographer J.H. Renshawe, captures the region before extensive modern infrastructure, where the few signs of human presence are isolated outposts like Snowshoe Cabin and the Sylvan Lodge East Entrance. The map detail reveals the intricate shoreline of The Promontory and notable islands such as Frank Island and Dot Island.
