Few maps of Yellowstone are as decorative as this Northern Pacific Railroad pictorial map, which shows the park as a bird's-eye panorama of geysers, lakes, and mountains rather than as a set of contour lines. The railroad had a direct stake in the park's reputation: its tracks reached the gateway town of Gardiner, Montana, and the company promoted Yellowstone heavily to draw tourists west. Maps like this were built to make a wilderness feel approachable and worth the trip, which is why they emphasize famous sights and friendly scenery. Yellowstone had been set aside as the first national park in 1872, so such promotional art helped shape how Americans pictured the place.
