About this map

Mammoth serves as the focal point of this 2011 survey, situated amidst a landscape of thermal activity and dramatic geology. The map details the complex terrain around Mammoth Hot Springs, where Highland Spring and the Boiling River reflect the geothermal character of the region. Notable landmarks such as Liberty Cap and Capitol Hill stand near the settlement, while the Gardner River carves through the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Evidence of early infrastructure and geographic gateways is visible at Golden Gate and Silver Gate, providing passage through the steep terrain of Golden Gate Canyon. The map also captures several natural landmarks like The Hoodoos, Cathedral Rock, and Bunsen Peak, alongside recreational sites including Indian Creek Campground and Lava Creek Campgrounds. This survey provides a record of the area's established road network and natural water features shortly after the turn of the 21st century.
