1959 Map of Tower Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The confluence of the Yellowstone River and Lamar River anchors this 1950s study of northern Yellowstone National Park. This portion of the park is defined by a dense concentration of early ranger stations and lodges that supported the era's growing tourism and conservation efforts. From the busy hub at Tower Junction and the rustic Roosevelt Lodge to the more remote Slough Creek Patrol Cabins, the map reveals the infrastructure of mid-century wilderness management. Notable geological landmarks like the Petrified Tree and the sheer drop of Tower Fall are documented alongside the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, which carves southward toward Mount Washburn. This survey captures the landscape just after the mid-century period of facility expansion, highlighting the established Grand Loop Road and the winding Howard Eaton Trail.
