About this map

Yellowstone National Park dominates this mid-1980s topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by high peaks and high-altitude water systems. The western portion of the map is anchored by the prominent elevations of Mount Holmes and the White Peaks, while Antler Peak and Dome Mountain rise to the north. These summits drain into a network of alpine basins, most notably containing Trilobite Lake and the long, narrow reach of Grizzly Lake.

Strategic watercourses like Straight Creek and Winter Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the park's interior. This provisional survey captures the wilderness in its 1980s state, emphasizing physical geography over human development. The inclusion of features such as Trilobite Point and Obsidian Creek provides specific reference points for those studying the geological naming conventions and remote hydrology of this protected territory.
