We love old maps. Their coloration, typography, legends, notations, and sometimes even outdated place names all have a nostalgic quality that gives them a special beauty. If you share our love for vintage maps, you’ll appreciate this Geologic map of Yellowstone - Excelsior Geyser Basin in our Historic Series.
This is a reproduction print of the 1904 Geologic map of the Excelsior Geyser Basin of Yellowstone created by the USGS. The Geologist in charge of this work was Arnold Hague which was printed by Julies Bien and Co. The topography is shown with contour lines in 100-foot intervals, overlaid in color indicating 26 different rock types and faults.
