About this map

The Upper Geyser Basin serves as the focal point of this 1880s survey, capturing the thermal landscape of the region's early years as a National Park. The presence of the Old Faithful Hotel marks the growing infrastructure for early tourism, situated among world-famous thermal features like Giant Geyser, Splendid Geyser, and the Beehive. The geography is defined by the high Pitchstone Plateau and the Continental Divide, which separates the headwaters of the Firehole River from the south-flowing Lewis River and Snake River.
