1991 Map of Mount Chittenden

About this map

The Pelican Valley dominates this high-country landscape, where geothermal activity and alpine watersheds converge. The presence of multiple Thermal Areas near Pelican Creek and Pelican Springs highlights the unique geology of this portion of Yellowstone National Park. This 1991 revision provides a clear record of the backcountry infrastructure of the era, specifically the isolated Pelican Springs Cabin and the system of footpaths crossing Mist Creek Pass and Jones Pass. The boundary of the North Absaroka Wilderness and Shoshone National Forest is defined by the high peaks, including Mount Chittenden. This terrain is further articulated by numerous watercourses such as Raven Creek, Astringent Creek, and the headwaters of Jones Creek near Stonecup Lake, showing the intricate drainage patterns of the Absaroka Range before the turn of the 21st century.
