2021 Map of Tower Junction

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Tower Junction serves as the central hub for this portion of Yellowstone National Park, where the Grand Loop Road - Tower-Mammoth meets the NE Entrance Road. This area is defined by the dramatic confluence of the Yellowstone River and the Lamar River, cutting through the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The map reveals a landscape heavily navigated by horse and foot, documented through an extensive network of trails including the Two Hour Horse Ride Trl and One Hour Horse Ride Trl near Pleasant Valley. Historical river crossings like Buffalo Ford and Bannock Ford indicate long-standing transit points across the water. Notable geological features like Overhanging Cliff, The Narrows, and The Needle emphasize the verticality of the terrain between the Washburn Range and the Buffalo Plateau. Thermal activity is noted at Calcite Springs and Nymph Spring, while smaller water bodies like Floating Island Lake and Lost Lake dot the higher ground.
