2017 Map of White Lake

About this map

Yellowstone National Park terrain dominates this survey, revealing a landscape defined by thermal activity and high-altitude drainage basins. The eastern reaches of the park are characterized by distinctive geothermal features, including the Whistler Geyser, the Josephs Coat Springs, and the Hot Spring Basin Group. These thermal areas are connected by a network of backcountry paths like the Wapiti Lake Trail and Fern Lake Trail, which navigate through the ridges and valleys between Wapiti Lake and Fern Lake. In the southern half of the quadrangle, several prominent bodies of water sit within the Mirror Plateau region, including White Lake, Tern Lake, and Dewdrop Lake. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by Moss Cr and Broad Cr, which carve through the dense contours of the Absaroka Range foothills.
