1911 Map of Shoshone

USGS Topo · Published 1927

About this map

The Upper Geyser Basin is the focal point of this 1910-era survey, capturing the early infrastructure of American wilderness tourism. Early hospitality sites like the Old Faithful Inn and the Old Faithful Permanent Camp appear alongside the world-famous Old Faithful geyser and the Giantess Geyser. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Madison Plateau and Pitchstone Plateau, with the Continental Divide winding between Shoshone Lake and the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake. Remote outposts such as Snowshoe Cabin and Sheffield Camp mark the transition into the Targhee National Forest and Teton National Forest. The presence of the Old Faithful Road and the Cascade Roadhouse illustrates the primary travel routes used by early visitors to the park before modern highway expansion.
