About this map

Mammoth serves as the focal point of this northwestern Wyoming landscape, where thermal activity and complex geology define the terrain. The map traces a remarkable series of travertine formations, including Main Terrace, Highland Terrace, and Opal Terrace, situated near the landmark Liberty Cap. This area is shaped by the descent of the Gardner River and its tributaries, which have carved dramatic features like Sheepeater Canyon and created vertical spectacles at Undine Falls and Osprey Falls.

Transport and recreation infrastructure is well-documented, from the residential layout of Washtub Row to established campsites at Indian Creek Campground. The map reveals a high-elevation environment where geologic curiosities like The Hoodoos and the limestone ramparts of Mount Everts dominate the eastern horizon. Researchers will find a detailed record of the intersections between natural wonders and the developed visitor corridors around Kingman Pass and the Golden Gate.
