1895 Map of Shoshone

USGS Topo · Published 1895

About this map

Upper Geyser Basin serves as a focal point for this late-nineteenth-century survey, documenting the early tourism infrastructure of the region including the Old Faithful Hotel. The map detail captures the high density of hydrothermal features along the Firehole River, including world-famous landmarks like Giant Geyser, Castle, and Beehive. Beyond the thermal basins, the terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Madison Plateau and Pitchstone Plateau, separated by the winding Continental Divide. To the east, the vast waters of Shoshone Lake and the Yellowstone Lake West Arm dominate the landscape. This 1895 edition also marks the Yellowstone Park Forest Reservation boundary, illustrating the early federal efforts to delineate and protect the surrounding wilderness area near the Red Mountains and peaks like Mt. Sheridan.
