Atlas of Yellowstone

The 2022 publication of the Atlas of Yellowstone, Second Edition celebrates the 150th anniversary of the founding of Yellowstone National Park—the first national park in the world. The atlas presents Yellowstone’s story through maps, data visualizations, photography, and text that is accessible and useful to park visitors and scientists alike. The atlas was created by the InfoGraphics Lab in collaboration with the Yellowstone Center for Resources and dozens of topic experts.

The Atlas explores Yellowstone’s contribution to preserving and understanding natural and cultural landscapes, to informing worldwide conservation practices, and to inspiring national parks around the world while also learning about the many struggles the park faces in carrying out its mission. Ranging from Indigenous Americans and local economies to geysers and wildlife migrations, from the life of one wolf to the threat of wildfires, each page provides leading experts’ insights into the complexity and significance of Yellowstone.
