1908 Map of Shoshone

USGS Topo · Published 1908

About this map

Old Faithful Hotel stands as a primary landmark in this 1908 reconnaissance of the Upper Geyser Basin, documenting the early infrastructure of the nation's first national park. The survey details a landscape defined by hydrothermal activity, from the concentration of thermal features including Splendid Geyser and Giant Geyser to the more remote Lone Star Geyser and the Shoshone Geyser Basin along the shores of Shoshone Lake. The Continental Divide meanders across the high plateaus, separating the drainages of the Firehole River and De Lacy Creek. The southern portion of the map transitions into the high elevations of the Red Mountains and Pitchstone Plateau, where peaks like Mt. Sheridan and Wildcat Peak rise above the complex network of creeks and alpine lakes such as Lewis Lake.
