1958 Map of Madison Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The convergence of the Gibbon River and Firehole River to form the Madison River anchors this 1950s survey of Yellowstone National Park. This portion of the park is defined by the thermal activity of the Lower Geyser Basin and Midway Geyser Basin, where prominent features like the Fountain Paint Pot and White Dome Geyser indicate a highly active geothermal landscape. The infrastructure of the era is evident at Madison Junction, while back-country management is represented by the Cougar Creek Patrol Cabin and Fountain Patrol Cabin. The topography transitions from the broad Madison Plateau to the vertical rise of Purple Mountain and National Park Mtn, providing a look at the park's early modern development before major contemporary tourist expansions. Researchers can also trace the Howard Eaton Trail as it winds through Secret Valley toward landmarks such as Fairy Falls.
