This map isn't part of any series, but we have other maps of Yellowstone that you might want to check out.
Yellowstone National Park [gmap] and the Northern Pacific Railroad get equal billing on this beautiful map by Charles Fee.
The cynic in me leans towards thinking that this is a strong indicator of who bankrolled the creation of the map.
For more maps and images from this period in the region's history, visit the Wyoming State Historical Society.
Excellent blog! I just wanted to mention that the Northern Pacific Railroad was a big reason for the early success of Yellowstone. The addition of a train station and rail service connecting the park to the rest of the United States and provided a bunch of positive exposure to both the railroad and Yellowstone.
If anyone is interested in learning more, the relationship between the two is discussed at length in Ken Burn’s excellent documentary series “The National Parks”
