Rare Vintage Map Panorama of Yellowstone National Park and Adjacent Territory

Description: Rare Vintage Map: Panorama of Yellowstone National Park and Adjacent Territory A large panoramic map of one of the United States greatest national treasures, Yellowstone Park. The view is some unusual in that instead of looking towards the north, you are looking towards the south from Montana. This densely illustrated panoramic view of Yellowstone is less than practical for navigational purposes, although the image does include roads (dirt & paved), railroads and highway markers. Directional aids and mileage markers can also be seen in the map’s margins. However, it’s real charm is the relief depiction of the park’s incredible topographical features. Low valleys punctured by steep hilly ridges weave around ink dark lakes and several rivers that meander through the park. Locations of interest, including mountains, creeks, campsites, ranger stations, and springs highlight the breadth of beauty and recreational opportunity available at the first National Park in the world. The artist, Bill O’Neill, was born “within earshot of the Rapids of the Yellowstone.” Prior to his career in commercial illustration, he was a tour guide in the park. He said a frequent request from his guests was a panorama of the entire park, so they could, in effect, take it all home. With an artist’s eye and a geologist’s mind, O’Neill drew the park from the perspective looking south, since the glaciers cut the north facing sides of the mountains in a much more dramatic fashion. 19"x47" Demensions Map 3 Condition: Pre-Owned Good Good vintage condition with creases and a few marks.
