1986 Map of Tower Junction

About this map

Yellowstone River currents carve through this dramatic northern portion of Yellowstone National Park, where the waterway transitions from the deep Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone into the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone. The landscape is a complex intersection of geologic landmarks and early park infrastructure, centering on the hub at Tower Junction and the nearby settlement of Yanceys. To the south, the Washburn Range looms over Pleasant Valley, while unique natural curiosities like the Petrified Tree and the spectacular Tower Fall are documented alongside a network of pack trails.
