The Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River, shown here as a small inset beside a view of the Grand Canyon, sit on a river that drops over a volcanic plateau in the park's northeast corner. Yellowstone's waterfalls and canyons were among the first natural wonders promoted to eastern audiences after the park was set aside in 1872, and a composite sheet like this one would have helped visitors and readers grasp the scale of the country's scenery. The pairing is worth noticing: it places a single cataract alongside a canyon, suggesting that the two were equally part of the same national landscape story.
