This map is roughly centered on Yellowstone Lake and shows the "Hoodoo" or Goblin Mountain to the east of the park. This area was given its name for the giant rocks that jut up to 60 feet in the air and have a ghostly appearance. Shows the "Route of Exploration" from the Indian Lodges just outside of the eastern park boundary to the Hot Springs. The map is accompanied by the 68-page annual report with 3 single-page plates and an attractive folding view of Mammoth Hot Springs (11.5 x 6.4"). The disbound report is housed in archival paper covers with handwritten label.
