1958 Map of Mammoth

About this map

Mammoth serves as a primary hub within the northwestern corner of Yellowstone National Park on this 1950s-era survey. The area's complex geothermal and geologic history is clearly visible, from the terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs to the impressive Obsidian Cliff. Evidence of early park infrastructure and visitor management appears through labels for the Patrol Cabin, Indian Creek Campground, and the Lava Creek Campgrounds. High-elevation landmarks like Bunsen Peak and Mount Everts tower over the Gardner River, while dramatic water features such as Wraith Falls and Undine Falls highlight the drainage patterns toward the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, geothermal activity remains prominent near Roaring Mountain and the Steam Vents by Lemonade Lake, illustrating the park's dynamic landscape before more modern developments altered its periphery.
