1911 Map of Lake

About this map

Yellowstone Lake dominates the northern half of this 1911 survey, showing its intricate shoreline from Breeze Point down to the fingers of South Arm and South East Arm. The terrain is defined by the Continental Divide winding through the high country of Two Ocean Plateau. A notable hydrologic curiosity is captured at Two Ocean Pass, where the waters of Atlantic Creek and Pacific Creek part ways toward different oceans. Remote outposts like the Snowshoe Cabin near Mariposa Lake and Hawks Rest along the Snake River indicate the sparse human presence in this protected wilderness. The map details a landscape of high peaks such as Avalanche Peak and Eagle Peak, connected by early routes like the Cody Road entering from the east. This edition reflects the early administrative boundaries between Yellowstone National Park and Teton National Forest during a period of foundational wilderness management.
