2021 Map of Summit Lake

About this map

Yellowstone National Park reveals its thermal and hydrological character in this contemporary survey of the high plateau region. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Firehole River as it passes through the expansive Little Firehole Meadows. This map documents significant geothermal activity, identifying the Smoke Jumper Hot Springs and the Summit Lake Hot Springs near the shores of Summit Lake. The rugged nature of the terrain is highlighted by the path of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl, which traverses the eastern sections of the quadrangle. Other notable water features include Plateau Lake and the W Fork Iron Spring Cr, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Yellowstone backcountry.
