About this map

Mammoth Hot Springs serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of the northern interior of Yellowstone National Park. The map details the developed hub of Mammoth, featuring Capitol Hill and the nearby Cem, alongside early tourism infrastructure like the Lava Creek Campgrounds. This era of the park’s history is captured through its primitive and established routes, including the Grand Loop Road and the Howard Eaton Trail.

The landscape is defined by geothermal and geological landmarks, from the thermal activity at Roaring Mountain and Amphitheater Springs to the sheer faces of Obsidian Cliff and the Sheepeater Cliffs. Local relief is represented by the Washburn Range and prominent peaks like Mount Everts and Bunsen Peak. Remote park operations are visible through scattered Patrol Cabins and utility features like a Gravel Pit, providing a look at the management of this wild terrain before later modernizations.
