1957 Map of Warm River Butte

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and Targhee National Forest meet in this mid-century survey of the high plateau and river country along the Idaho-Wyoming border. The landscape is defined by the transition from the volcanic heights of Warm River Butte and Moose Creek Butte down into the riparian meadows and waterfalls of the Bechler River system. Remote outposts like the Bechler River Ranger Station and the Boundary Creek Patrol Cabin underscore the era's conservation efforts and wilderness management.
