This United States Department of the Interior map, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in collaboration with the National Park Service (NPS), presents a detailed topographic representation of Yellowstone National Park across Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. The map employs shaded relief and contour lines to depict the region’s rugged terrain, highlighting mountain ranges, valleys, rivers, and geothermal features.
The topography and relief are illustrated through shading and contouring, emphasizing the park’s mountainous landscapes. Water bodies such as Yellowstone Lake, Shoshone Lake, and Lewis Lake are distinctly marked, along with major rivers and tributaries. The park’s extensive transportation network is categorized into Medium Duty Roads (paved primary roads), Light Duty Roads (gravel or dirt roads), and Unimproved Dirt Roads (remote access routes), providing essential navigation details for visitors and park officials.
The map delineates the official boundary of Yellowstone National Park in red, with surrounding state borders and adjacent protected lands visible. It also identifies key landmarks and natural features, including geothermal areas like Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs, and Norris Geyser Basin, mountain ranges such as the Absaroka Range and Gallatin Range, and visitor hubs including Canyon Village, Tower Junction, and West Thumb.
