2015 Map of Mount Sheridan

About this map

Yellowstone National Park reveals its geothermal and alpine character in this survey of the high Teton County backcountry. The landscape is dominated by the massive ascent to Mt Sheridan and the neighboring Red Mountains, providing a topographical overview of the hydrologic divide where Basin Creek and Solution Creek originate. Of particular interest to researchers are the hydrothermal features concentrated around Heart Lake, including the Heart Lake Geyser Basin and its individual vents like Deluge Geyser, Rustic Geyser, and the Heart Lake Geyser. The map also traces established routes through the wilderness, such as the John D Rockefeller Jr Pkwy and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, alongside smaller paths like the Riddle Lake Trail and the Mount Sheridan Trail.
