Atlas of Yellowstone

The Atlas of Yellowstone is the first comprehensive atlas of a national park for the first national park in the world. The atlas, to be published in 2012 in book form, represents a major collaboration between the University of Oregon and Yellowstone National Park. Over 100 researchers from the National Park Service, the region’s universities, agencies, and institutes contributed their expertise and knowledge to this publication. The Atlas of Yellowstone will be a 300 page reference volume that uses rich graphics to examine a wide range of topics ranging from Art to Wolves, provides new references maps for the region, and provides a rich understanding of the unique place of Yellowstone in the world.

The Atlas of Yellowstone’s content covers a wide range of topics relevant to Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, and the surrounding Greater Yellowstone Area. The content is broadly organized around four themes:

  • connections between Yellowstone, its region and the world
  • the dynamic, ever changing nature of the Yellowstone landscape over time spans ranging from days to millions of years
  • the interaction of humans and nature throughout the region
  • the importance of Yellowstone National Park and its region as natural and cultural resources

Early production work on the Atlas of Yellowstone project was made possible by a seed grant approved by the board of the Yellowstone Park Foundation, and funding by Eyes on Yellowstone is made possible by Canon.
