1958 Map of Mount Holmes

About this map

The high northwestern peaks of Yellowstone National Park dominate this 1958 survey, where the headwaters of major river systems emerge from the divide. The terrain is defined by massive formations such as Quadrant Mountain and the towering Mount Holmes, with drainage basins feeding the Gallatin River and the Gardner River. The map documents a primitive backcountry infrastructure maintained for park management, including the remote Patrol Cabin and Snowshoe Cabin. Long-established routes like the Fawn Pass Trail and Bighorn Pass Trail navigate the steep passes, connecting high-altitude points like Three Rivers Peak and Bannock Peak. Along the eastern edge, the Grand Loop Road provides the primary corridor for early park visitors near Gardners Hole, while much of the interior remains accessible only by the network of trails weaving through Crowfoot Ridge and the White Peaks.
