1956 Map of Old Faithful

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Firehole River carves through a geothermal landscape defined by active thermal features and dense coniferous forest in this mid-century survey of Yellowstone National Park. Central to the map is the Upper Geyser Basin, home to the world-renowned Old Faithful geyser and the Old Faithful Inn. This area shows a concentration of thermal landmarks including the Morning Glory Pool, Grotto Geyser, and the colorful Sapphire Pool within Biscuit Basin. Beyond the developed thermal areas, the map reveals the wilderness character of the Madison Plateau and the remote Shoshone Geyser Basin on the shores of Shoshone Lake. The drainage patterns of the Bechler River in the south are punctuated by numerous cataracts, including Twister Falls and Tendoy Falls, illustrating the dramatic vertical drops across the Continental Divide.
