1986 Map of Norris Junction

About this map

Norris Geyser Basin serves as the thermal centerpiece of this mid-1980s topographic study within Yellowstone National Park. The landscape is defined by its active geothermal features, ranging from the Echinus Geyser to the multi-hued Artists Paintpots and the unique iron-rich formations at Chocolate Pots. This era of mapping documents the complex drainage systems of the Gibbon River and Solfatara Creek before significant modern infrastructure changes.
