About this map

Mt Washburn serves as the focal point of this high-altitude landscape, where several key watersheds and geothermal features originate. The map documents the primitive and developed routes through this section of Yellowstone National Park, including the winding Grand Loop Rd and the Chittenden Rd that navigates the ascent near Dunraven Pass.

Evidence of the park's volcanic character is visible through thermal features like Washburn Hot Springs and Inkpot Spring, which feed into the rugged drainages of Sulphur Cr. To the southeast, the terrain drops precipitously into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, carved by the Yellowstone River. Notable hiking corridors such as the Seven Mile Hole Trail and Mount Washburn Trail provide historical context for backcountry access within these protected lands.
